In Edmonton. Calgary doesn't touch this. It started with Duhatschek who mused, didn't link it to an actual rumour, and Stauffer whose been saying Lucic is getting traded tomorrow for 2.5 years running.

Also, Sam's arbitration comparibles see him closer to 3M AAV

Agreed, this is a joke of a trade from a Calgary perspective. Let's give up a middle six utility forward who put up a PPG in the playoffs this year for a guy who can barely crack a roster that has poor NHL caliber forwards outside of the top 3, plus swap a RW who would play on one of the top two lines (if Neal can somewhat bounce back) for a $6M third line LW even if Lucic returns to being decent as Tkachuk and Gaudreau are both better than Lucic ever was.
