It'll always depend on who's available at 8, but the more you look at Lucic's deal, it truly is the worst contract in the league. Alzner at least you can bury him in the minors, Lucic you can't. Alzner you can still buy him out and still get decent cap relief, Lucic due to his signing bonuses you'd get very little cap relief.
As much as Habs have cap space now to take him on, when guys like Domi, KK and Gallagher have to get new deals in 2-3 years, still having Lucic's contract would put MTL in cap hell. No thanks
