It's worth it as hell! A potential 11-17 pick and a 4th overall guy! Think about it

It's not 3.3 million for 10 years. Just use the buyout calculator. Its brutal, his contract was designed to be buyout proof. Some of the years it still has a cap hit of 5.625 million. It was designed to be unable to buyout unfortunately

Worst contract in the league. That being said a 1st round pick + Poolparty gets the job done. Montreal bites the bullet and keeps the guy for the 4th line

10 years of a buyout is way too much. As long as you have cap space you're better to AHL bury players....you get some cap relief and it reduces the number of buyout years. Keep Lucic for one year then cap hit average is about 2.8m a year. Still don't think it's worth it for Montreal though.
