No, Lucic didn't waive his NMC this season. He waived for the the Seattle entry draft. He knew he wasn't going to be selected by Seattle so in effect allowed the Flames to protect one more player.
His trade restrictions are still in place, and Lucic isn't waiving to a non contender.
Why wouldn't I suggest the Leafs keep Mrzarek over Campbell? Campbell is a UFA,so the Leafs better get used to the idea of Campbell leaving since the Leafs can't afford Campbell if he plays well. Point is he hasn't played that well for a few months.....so maybe he isn't the guy for the Leafs long term. And even at that Mrzarek has M NTC
Yea, I know Monahan isn't worth much in trade value. But isn't kinda silly to think the far superior Rakell is going to sign for 4m?
In regards to Rakell. All depends who goes after him in FA. If Calgary takes a run this year then whos to say he dosent take a discount to take a run this coming season. 4M to play 3rd line and possible PP time. Not a bad deal on either part.
Seattles entry draft was for the 2021-22 season. Therefore he waived this season
