With Lucic on the market experts are thinking of possible landing spots for the former Boston Bruin. Bob Mckenzie of TSN reported that the Edmonton Oilers could be interested.

Now that Milan Lucic is technically on open market, I expect EDM to have significant interest in him and he will have interest in EDM.

The Los Angeles Kings acquired Lucic last offseason for Martin Jones, Colin Miller, and the number 13 overall selection. The traded ended up being a one rental as the two parties could not agree on a contract extension.

Although Lucic had been saying on the right things in terms of loving Los Angeles and wanting to stay, many experts and fans were pessimistic of his return to club simply due to the King’s lack of financial flexibility.
