Shocking news surfaces involving Bruins Milan Lucic and it's officially over
The Fourth Period NHL insider Dave Pagnotta revealed Monday that Bruins forward Milan Lucic will not be returning to the team and will be looking to re sign Danton Heinen.
Lucic had a very turbulent year as he was arrested and arraigned for a domestic abuse incident which the charges were dropped later. Having signed a $1 million deal this year and not living up to that contract, the Bruins have decided to walk away from Lucic and seek help elsewhere either through Providence or free agency.
The Bruins hold $21 million in cap space going into this offseason and general manager Don Sweeney will be looking for upgrades as the team struggled to score goals during the playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers.
Heinen, who returned to the Bruins this year played for head coach Jim Montgomery when he was the college coach of the University of Denver and who was instrumental in helping Heinen returned to the team that drafted him.
It's likely he will seek a small raise as the 29-year-old made $775,000 this year after putting together a solid stat line of 17 goals with 19 assists for 36 points.'
