so Edmonton is going to give the 10th pick to get rid of Lucic's big contract... and in return take on Alzner's big contract?

Alzner is almost 2 million less and a year less isn't he? And a case could be made that Alzner is a little more of what they are looking for... Point is, Edmonton will have to eat it to get rid of that contract...

but why would they give up a top 10 pick to save $2 million? that's 2.5% of their cap. and i think it's actually less than $2 million. and if Alzner is what they are looking for then A) they can pick through the scrap heap and find someone for $2 million and B) god (frank)ing help them

True... I'm just saying that's what I'd be asking for and I'm sure teams aren't knocking at the door to get Lucic... And it's Chiarelli!

I don't think Edmonton would say yes to Lucic for Alzner 1 for 1.

Oh I think they would for sure... They said they would be open to taking a contract back and adding a pick

I wonder if other GMs would look at a Bergevin-Chiarelli trade the way we look at an an argument between WaterBoy and twiztedmike

Your general idea made sense.

I think the #10 pick is too much of a price to pay if they have to take another bad contract.

How about Lucic + 10th for Alzner 35th & 56th?

How bad does Edmonton want Lucic gone is the main question

They always need workers to pick up various vedgetables in the fields around here.
