Quoting: ItWasInOhThreeOhFour
Yes, he does. Would have to waive to be moved (unlikely, I know).
he would waive it to come to MTL his 2nd choice as a UFA
MTL almost had him on a 5 year deal then Chirelli offered him over 1m what MTL would pay on that term
MTL could use him for the right price but would likely require a 3 way trade where CGY would save cap by buying out Alzner
Lucic at 3m to MTL
Alzner to CGY for buyout(they'll save 3.5 to just under 4.5m cap moving Lucic)
Seattle retains 50% cap on Lucic as they can start making moves for the TDL just like VGK were .
CGY would have to give up a big piece to move out Lucic though
2nd and the rights Jankowski if Alzner has 500-750k retained making the cap hit even lower from the buyout(alzner buyouts 1m except 1 year its like 2.5 so very sustainable for CGY)
Seattle gets the chance to stock pile picks while helping themselves hit the cap floor.
MTL gets Lucic for a playoff run to battle on bottom line whom Claude Julien
CGY gets almost 4m in cap space along with Hudon from MTL to fill the roster spot for CGY
its a steep price but they're paying it to avoid retaining any cap outside the buyout
Lucic would play here for sure but its finding a team willing to eat half his cap .
i think Seattle would for Janko who would be a better first Center then Vlad Shipachyov was for VGK.
CGY gets much needed cap pace to make its own moves
