Update on Milan Lucic's NHL future surfaces online
Milan Lucic's NHL career appears to be over after he was arrested last season.
When the news broke that Milan Lucic had been arrested on charges of domestic violence it seemed to mark the end of his NHL career. Lucic had returned to the Boston Bruins on a one year contract for what was intended to be a victory lap. Lucic was attempting to come full circle in the limelight of his career but it didn't workout that way.
On November 9th, 2023 news broke that Lucic had in fact been arrested following a domestic incident. The Bruins quickly responded by placing Lucic on a leave, the right move all things considered.

Confirmed by various media outlets
As the season rolled on more details surfaced and it became clear just how bad the charges against Lucic were. Lucic was scheduled to appear in court, where charges were dropped after his wife refused to cooperate with the investigation. Despite the charges being dropped Brittany Lucic has since filed for both divorce and an order of protection against her husband according to Radar Online.
Should the court disagree with my request, then in the alternative I request that the court allow only professionally monitored visitation with Soberlink testing to be performed within one hour before and one hour after visitation. I am also requesting that the Court Order all communications between the Parties to be through.
Now it appears as his personal life continues to get messy, that Lucic will be unable to find work on the ice. According to an account on X who has broken multiple stories in the past, it appears that Lucic's career will be coming to an end.
There has been no interest in him this summer and he hasn't been connected to anyone via rumors. At 36, it's fair to say it's game over.
If true, Lucic will end his career 1177 games played, 233 goals and 353 games. Lucic was one of the last remaining power forwards from a previous age. Despite a strong NHL career it's unlikely that Lucic is remembered for what happened on the ice. Instead he'll likely be tainted by this incident whenever his name surfaces.
