I'll just keep erne, you keep that cap hit

I would love this but its not realistic

I know Lucic is a good locker room got and what not that provides some toughness and whatever else he does. But to Detroit he's a straight cap dump. He would cost at minimum a first and probably a B prospect. Or someone like Coronato or Pelletier and a second. Something like that I would expect. Then maybe if the package is good enough so we add Erne.

While the Eichel proposal is fairly reasonable, the hitch would be Sabres retaining any salary for the next 5 years on Eichel's contract - whether it's good business practice as a sweetener to get a better deal or not, the principle of paying a player who is forcing his way out, publicly and privately, will be too much for the vain Owners to accept. And if they were somehow to be persuaded by Adams to swallow their pride and retain some of Eichel's cap hit (maybe even up to $2M/Yr), then the Flames package would have to be slightly upgraded - Coronato, while taken 12th, was the 38th overall ranked prospect. Substitute Pelletier in for Coronato and make the 1st rounder unprotected if the Flames somehow were lottery eligible and it would seem fair for both sides

Detroit keeps Erne, And zero chance of Lucic waiving for a rebuilding team like Detroit.
