It may parallel Yzerman's path but the big difference is that the Wings owner was willing to spend big bucks on players when they started to become contenders in a non capped era.
But the first few years of his career , the team was brutal but he brought on the revival of the Wings. - gramps
We spent big bucks and that didn’t work as well as planned

I’d say it worked out well for Lucic but even he is complaining about a situation where he earns way more than he produces. |

If you take the high end of both my $ and term then yeah it is pricey. But I'd do 5M x 1 yr, 4-4.5 x 2 yr or 3-3.5 x 3 yr.
Considering the relatively low $ and term for where he'd be expected to slot into the lineup I'd say it's risky but not that risky. Giving up the 2020 first is what real risk looks like. - RonPielep
Thank god we live in a world where we can disagree, I do not put much value on the stats i n the KHL. It is not the same level of competition, as well as a different style of play. Im not saying they do not have a high level, its just not a consistently high level. |

But it's a capped NHL now and FA's wanted to play in Detroit then.

You disagree with me?
That’s a thought crime my friend. Next strike and you will be receiving some free vocational training.

The best team in the regular season not always winning the cup does not equal "just get in and anything can happen." |

Fire them all. Holland, Nicholson, Joey Moss, Gene Principe, Bob stauffer... anyone who earns a penny and isnt on ice during regulation, GONE. This team needs to be blown the (frank) up. Top to bottom, and it starts in the offices. |

Regular season games determine if you make the playoffs or not so I would argue they are just as important - RatedR80

LA Kings apparently kicked tires on a Pulju trade but Oilers wanted to tag Lucic with him in any potential deal.... my thoughts are what if the Oil retained 2-3M of his deal would it be worth it depending on the return from the Kings? |

Given how Todd was clearly not a Puju guy by the end of his coaching reign in Edmonton I find it surprising this is even been talked about |
