How This Former Bruins Would Feel About Making A Return
Milan Lucic's tenure with the Calgary Flames is coming to an end, sparking speculation of a reunion with his former team, the Boston Bruins, where he won the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Entering his 16th season in the league, Lucic showcased his value by helping Canada secure the gold medal at this year's IIHF World Championship.
In an article by Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, Lucic emphasized that his priority in free agency is finding the right team fit, where his role and contributions are clearly defined.
How Lucic would feel about returning to Boston
While a potential trade to Boston didn't materialize before last season's deadline, Lucic hasn't ruled out a return to the Black and Gold.
"Obviously it's a special place for me, and it will always be a special place for me,"
Lucic expressed to LeBrun.
With ongoing connections to the Bruins, Lucic's physical style of play and veteran leadership could provide valuable assets for Jim Montgomery's team.
Additionally, his potential signing wouldn't impose significant financial burden, making it a potentially low-risk, high-reward move for Boston.
Ultimately, the next 7 days leading up to July 1 will determine Lucic's fate and whether a reunion with the Bruins becomes a reality.
