Lucic Calls It a Career After 17 NHL Seasons

Milan Lucic is hanging up the skates after 17 NHL seasons, closing the book on a bruising career that always seemed to leave a mark on the ice and in the room. This is the kind of player coaches loved, opponents hated, and front offices always had to account for when the hits started flying. The retirement lands with the usual post-career reflection, but Lucic’s name still carries the weight of a guy who changed games with his presence as much as his points.
