With the March 3rd trade deadline come and gone for another year, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding the moves teams did or did not make and it seems a former fan favourite might've made his way back to the Boston Bruins.
Before the Bruins make deals for Dmitry Orlov, Garnet Hathaway and Tyler Bertuzzi, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet had suggested on the 32 thoughts podcast that they were looking into Milan Lucic, Take a look:
The wildest one I actually heard, and it obviously didn't happen, was Lucic and Boston, about the possibility of him going and having one last ride with the Bruins. I don't know if it even happened. Someone said to me they heard that rumour, but I don't know if that even happened." Friedman said.
Lucic, 34, has played in 60 games for the Calgary Flames this season, scoring 14 points including 5 goals and 9 assists.
Bring Lucic back for one final Stanley Cup run would've been a dream story, but it never got done. Wig Lucic's career being uncertain at the end of the season, it would've been cool to see him back where it all started.
