The Edmonton Oilers have a number of poor contracts that will continue to be anchors for this team over the next few years. Fans wanting to buyout these contracts and move on from them as quick as possible is certainly understandable, but would doing so with any of them really be the best move?
Milan Lucic
When I first mentioned the words “buy out” chances are the first name that jumped to your mind on the Oilers roster was Milan Lucic. #27 has 4 years remaining on his 7 year contract and has an annual cap hit of 6 million.
