Trading Milan Lucic Would Be a Mistake
March 15th, 2018 Oilers' forward Milan Lucic has been taking a public lashing in recent weeks. Perhaps deservedly so.

February 18th, 2018 I'm going to throw a lot of stats at you quickly. Milan Lucic hasn't scored a goal in 21 games for the Edmonton Oilers. It's a cold streak that extends back all the way to December 23 against the Montreal Canadiens. Since the Christmas break, Lucic has just four assists and has only registered a point in three games.
