Horrible trade for MTL. Lucic has one of the worst contract in the NHL (huge negative value) and would not follow MTL pace (imagine him in the 1st game vs. Canes...). He would be be the Alzner of offense.

Plus MTL is giving way too much

A lot to give up for Kylington, I don't know anything about him as a player but he'd better be damn good to make that swap. Habs pass.

How about Lucic and Kylington for Alzner and a 4th?

There's no way MTL does this. Lucic is horrendous and Byron is one of our most important forwards. Even Kylington doesnt make up for Lucic's contract

It's a bad trade for Montreal. Plus with Hamonic and Brodie UFAs next season, Flames need Kylington if he is good as you say.

Quite possibly the worst trade I've ever seen (from a MTL perspective).

Might as well add Domi for Czarnik and Frolik for Gallagher.......

Kylington & Kulak are a toss up (Might need to overpay a bit more since Kylington is cheaper). Also Byron+2nd>Nothing and Lucic

So MTL obviously declines this but ill give a POV from Calgary.

1st you only trade Albatrosses for Albatrosses. Lucic is a 2 million player make 4M too much. Our mistake was Signing Neal in the first place and we will have to live with that. For a team that was 2nd in the leage for scoring last year to have a "known goal scorer" get 7 all year, he was a pylon for us with no motivation. Lucic is actually a bottom 6 player that will provide much needed toughness in our roster.

Anyways, Flames arent interested in trading Kylington for a downgrade that will be benched as soon as Valimaki comes back. Our interest would be in one of your many RD, since we lack depth there.
