Yeah swapping Lucic with 1.3M retention for Alzner doesn't help the Oilers at all..... (when including Klefbom as the sweetener)
The whole point of moving Lucic is so that they have more cap space to spend on other players as well as not have to pay him his salary/bonus anymore.
If you trade Lucic and his 6M contract to the habs in exchange for another problem that costs you approx 6M now, what does EDM gain from this?? MTL gains Klefbom so we have an incentive but EDM does this because......????? some salary and bonus that they no longer have to pay.... is that worth losing Klefbom over?
Retaining that much on Lucic and adding it to Alzner's contract makes it almost as if they still have Lucic. Especially when they had to lose Klefbom in the process.
