I can't...
Might as well get the Lucic trade thread going -- to Kings for 13/Jones/Miller
- Thread starter The Napkin
- Start date

Is Sweeney drunk?
I don't mind the Lucic deal as I don't think he's going to age well and he's slow. But this deal isn't in a vacuum.

I don't even want to tell you that his name is fucking Adam because I want to pretend they actually signed someone named Andrew McQuaid who might not actually suck.RGREELEY33 said:
What are the chances Sweeney never changed the passwords on his computer and Chia is just making all these deals as revenge.
Adam, we'd like to keep you here, how does 2 years at 1.5 each sound?j44thor said:
Pretty good, I could probably get more but I like it here and Boston...
Okay, we'll make it 3 at 2?
Hey, that sounds great. As I was saying I've really enjoyed...
Okay, 3 at 2.5
Really? Wow, this is great. But it's really not about the money. I'm thrilled to be here and look ...
*sigh* We can go to 4 at 2.75 per but that's our last offer

Considering he's the guy that said he and the rest of the Bruins weren't able to cope with the loss of Boychuk last season, I think he needs to be crystal clear on this.
Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
Yeah I basically like the Lucic deal. It still is beyond stunning they got significantly more for Lucic than they did for Hamilton
Although if they don't do anything with the logjam of goalies they now have then that downgrades this deal
Milan hitting Miller, fighting Gaustad. Memories...

The rest of his comments make it pretty clear that it's exactly what you thought originally. Click baity tweet is click baity.The Four Peters said:
Interesting tidbit on Colin Miller that'll probably only interest me- He won the hardest shot (104.6 mph) and fastest skater competitions at the AHL ASG last year. You usually don't see those two skills paired together.
I will never wish him ill except for when he's playing the Boston Bruins.
And if I run into him, I'll say thanks for being part of a team that got me back into hockey. The Montreal knockout and subsequent lockout made for a tough few years, but it's been a blast the last several and going forward.

Agreed. And I honestly think many of us will miss him more than we realize, though I have agreed from the start it was a necessary evil.
An update from Pierre LeBrun, who interviewed Lucic about his time with the Kings...

You'd be surprised how much life doesn't suck when you don't ever have to deal with snow unless you want to, and the only natural disasters you have to worry about are drought and earthquakes. I'd move back to California if it made any sense at all financially.
Most of all I don't miss his future contract.
He wasn't worth the rumored AAV and term to sign him last year - he's even less worth it now. He made great contributions to this franchise, but the trade Sweeney made is really one of the best in recent memory.
Now if only we could scratch Kevan in exchange for Colin... for fuck's sakes

Someone on another board asked the other day if you would consider bringing him home to a below market 5 year contract, if he came this summer desperate to come home.
I realized at that point that I hadn't thought of him once this season and didn't even know how he was doing this year. Did look up his numbers, was weird seeing him in Kings colors. Good luck to him

Lucic might be "loving life" in LA, but he is getting into some trouble. For the second time this season he was ejected. He sucker punched another player and got tossed. If he keeps this up, will he cost himself some money? I loved him here, but he isn't worth the money he reportedly was looking for.

So you'd rather deal with your house collapsing or brush fires, rather than paying someone to shovel, when you're a millionaire? Yeah, dude, that makes total sense. Keep going with that.
Yep. Never having to deal with weather below 55 degrees is something you're willing to put up with the occasional catastrophic earthquake. There are these really odd things called "seasons" in Boston where the weather gets unpleasantly warm and cold at times.Spoken like someone who has never lived out there.
I rewatched dafoomie's recap of the BERGERON! BERGERON! game, and I don't think i realized how often he'd do that sort of thing. He did it against Komisarek a few years ago too, charging after him right as Thornton engaged. There was also the Burrows thing in Game 3, him attacking Phaneuf in the aforementioned Game 7. The man doesn't believe in the old saying that revenge is a dish best served cold.
