I wonder if Kesler's deal is insured as I believe he's had that hip issue for a while now. Could be a Horton possibility for a richer team if thats the case. Lucic is an interesting one that's importance is lessened as the cap goes up like all of this stuff. Might as well make the move and cut bait now while you can and not risk an injury moving forward.

Kesler's career is likely over.... he's supposedly going to miss the entire season next year and has been a shell of himself for 2 years now (obviously this is a recurring issue) at 34 years old you don't sit out an entire year and come back to be any type of player Lucic i think a team with lots of cap space could do the oilers a favour and take him off their hands....... provided they were getting something of value back in terms of high picks, young assets (Puljarvi, Kamamoto).. i actually think he could bounce back somewhat if playing in a different system and the Oilers paid a portion of the salary

That Kesler extension looked terrible from the get go, big money to a guy with the mileage he has. with him and Perry, Anaheim is in a really bad spot. that's 15M the next 2 years then 6.8M of Kesler. One change they should make in the next CBA is for toxic contracts that need a buyout, teams could have flexibility on how the buyout cap hit is applied. In some cases teams could eat it all in 1 or 2 years and move on like in the NFL.

If he's never going to play again a team like Montreal can pay him but LTIR him and spend the cap space on someone else.

It might not even be possible but based on his history it's a valid question considering the Horton situation.

In some cases teams could eat it all in 1 or 2 years and move on like in the NFL. Not that the NHL will likely ever get there, as I don’t know how you could ever measure WAR but I wonder how many of these “bad contracts” that people sign are actually bad... in the MLB, if you believe 1 WAR is worth 8 million, you look at Max Scherzer and he could be essentially a -3 WAR pitcher combined over the next 3 seasons and the Nationals would have no reason to complain as he’s already exceeded the “value” of his contract. Not that this is the case with Kesler or Perry but the order you get the value in isn’t really relevant, so long as you actually end up with it over the duration of the contract, who cares if you have to eat a couple of bad seasons in there at the end. If it’s all about getting the WAR, then as long as the player meets and or exceeds that number, it’s a good contract. An NHL equivalent or at least a good model of it, doesn’t exist but I wish it did so I could evaluate those things.
