Lucic calls report he's agreed to a deal with Oilers 'bulls--t'
Milan Lucic says there's nothing to a report claiming he has already reached an agreement with the Edmonton Oilers.
The pending unrestricted free agent told WEEI's DJ Bean that Tuesday's report from Curtis Stock - a freelancer formerly of the Edmonton Journal - is "bullshit," and while he isn't ruling the Oilers out, he hasn't agreed to anything with any team yet.
"I understand Lucic signed with (the) Oilers. He's another piece the Oilers need," Stock tweeted Tuesday, before adding, "Got it from a good source. Announcement on July 1."
Edmonton hosted Lucic and defenseman Jason Demers on Tuesday, and Lucic was a guest of the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.
The negotiating window for teams to discuss new deals with pending free agents opened Saturday at midnight.
