Whereas home violence prices had been dropped in opposition to Bruins winger Milan Lucic earlier on Friday, don’t count on to see him again in a Boston uniform in 2023-24. Following the information of the fees being dropped, the workforce launched a press release to reporters together with Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald that the veteran received’t return this season:
Milan Lucic will stay on indefinite go away from the group for the rest of the 2023-24 season. The Boston Bruins group helps Milan and his household as he continues his private rehabilitation.
Lucic signed a one-year contract with Boston in July, which carried a $1M cap hit and wage plus one other $500K in undisclosed efficiency bonuses. He’ll as soon as once more be an unrestricted free agent this summer time.
On the time of his arrest again in November, Lucic was on LTIR and entered the NHL/NHLPA Participant Help Program quickly after. Accordingly, the Bruins will likely be allowed to maintain him on LTIR and exceed the wage cap by as much as $1M for the rest of the season.
