It was mentioned in the Krejci thread, so I figured I'd start a new one for this discussion
Add me to the choir on this one. I have advocated dealing Lucic this summer even, as I view him as someone who will age very poorly. I tend to think he is going to be largely washed up by age 30
In some ways I love the toughness, leadership, Milan brings to the table. So maybe you let him play out the string, but if/when the Bruins decide they need more skating, and scoring, I think Lucic would be the guy to go.
I just can't imagine anyway his next contract will not be a complete disaster for whomever gives it to him, and I don't want to be that team.

At the risk of getting off topic too far I agree completely, esp with Lucic. I'm not sure I'd be all that upset if he walks in 2016 because someone is going to give him big money.
