Description

Trade is exactly cap neutral with Rubtsov in the AHL. Lucic is bought out after the season. This enables the buyout cost to be split across 3 teams (Oilers, Flames, Flyers) and also means the Flames aren't forced to protect Lucic in the expansion if he were still on their roster (and neither will the Flyers after the buyout).

While Patrick is out someone gets a callup or we play with a 22 man roster.

Trades

PHI

Gaudreau, Johnny
Lucic, Milan ($2,200,000 retained)

CGY

Additional Details:

2020 1st is top 10 protected. This gives the Flames a reasonable swing at a 11-20 slot as the Flyers look like they should be right around the cusp of playoff contention. If it's ends up top 10 then it switches to the 2021 1st.

I could see CGY being interested if that retention was smaller...

Gotta think Calgary says no because of Vorachek. He's at 8.25m for four full seasons and this season and is 30 years old now. This season he's at a 50 point pace. Is this beginning of a long term decline?

This deal doesn't improve the flames or its cap situation I think any trade for Gaudreau would be a straight prospect deal and would have to start with Morgan Frost

Calgary has some decisions to make imo, Gaudreau only has two more seasons left before free agency when he'll be 29 and realistically if they keep him for his last season it might be a distraction more then anything in what would likely be a lost season anyway.

Trading Gaudreau now would likely get a bigger return then if they wait till he's set to be a UFA and they have quite a few UFA's(Hamonic, Frolik, Brodie-if he's healthy) they could deal for futures to start the rebuild/retool.

If they were to send him east they should be looking for some younger talent coming back like Farabee or Frost not a guy like Voracek and if Philly needs to send some money back to make it work Calgary should stay away from anyone carrying a big price tag with a lot of term. Trading Gaudreau just to dump Lucic would be dumber then it was trading for Lucic in the first place.. Lol
