How much salary retention on Lucic? Because this is not an even swap... at all.

I'm not sure how Calgary agreed to this. Maybe they feel like Lucic will have an upswing.

Oilers get a little extra scoring on a better contract with no clauses.

Ken Holland is already looking great.

The Team needs to achieve this year.

The winner in this deal is San Jose. And Vegas. And even Anaheim.

Blockbuster! Thirty nine points between them last year.

I'd love to call this one a huge win for the Oil, but it's way too premature. My preference is always to bash the Flames, but this one will take a little wait and see.

I'm not thrilled about the length of that Hayes contract. Not at all.

Sorry KomiSally, Bergevin already offer-sheeted Marner and he wouldn't sign.

In fact, Marner's camp came back and told Bergevin what his contract demands were. Bergevin decided 3 days later to make another offer, matching his demands, and Marner called him back and said, "PSYCHE!"

Sadly, it appears, other GMs and players are having fun at Bergevin's expense.

Maybe Alzner will have a good camp and a bounce-back year.

If you're thinking point production, then yes its too early to say
But regardless, its a win for Oilers

I am not sure trading one pile of poop for a lightly less smelly pile of poop qualifies as "great".

I think Edmonton wins this trade though.

The only thing I can think is that Calgary felt like neither would provide any secondary scoring and maybe Lucic would provide more toughness?

Guess BT really wants out of Calgary, especially if we lose a good player to Seattle because we have to protect Lucic! Even with Edmonton retaining 2 million in salary....

I heard that Rantanen's group called Bergy and asked for 14 million per over 4 years.

Then they called him and asked if his refrigerator is running.

Sportsnet just speculated Calgary are tight to The Cap, they send Lucic and a sweetener to Ottawa ?

Any deal involving Lucic is there any question who won the trade?

Treliving should be instantly fired for making that deal. He picked up a SIGNIFICANTLY worse player, who is paid more than what he gave up, and who has a NTC.

This is an absolute slam dunk win for Holland. Neal isn’t what he used to be, obviously, but is like 5 times better than the Neanderthal he was traded for.

Probably the most one sided deal in the NHL since Sakic made Dorion his female dog in the Duchene trade.

He would never waive his NTC to come here.......THANK GOD.

And even if he did, that sweetener would have to be like salary retention, plus a couple of 1st rd picks. Look what the leafs had to give up to get out of 1 year of Marleau, you guys would have to give up SIGNIFICANTLY more to move Lucic.

20 points vs 20 points.... But at least Lucic isn't made of glass.
