Jim Matheson: Back in 2016 the Montreal Canadiens wanted Milan Lucic. They had also offered him seven years and possibly more money than the Oilers. Just theorizing but would a Lucic for Andrew Shaw trade work for both sides? Lucic has basically only had one bad season in his past eight years. Now, if he is back and struggles again, they a buyout could become an option.
Jim Matheson: For those Canadiens who are asking about Lucic, the Oilers wouldn’t “sweeten the pot” with the No.
