Milan Lucic, known for his successful stint with the Calgary Flames, had consistent postseason appearances but fell short of another Stanley Cup win.
Recently, he achieved a gold medal at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.
In an interview, Lucic expressed his desire to play for his hometown team, the Vancouver Canucks, if they express interest in him as an unrestricted free agent. He stated,
"It is every hometown boy's dream to play for the hometown team. We will see what happens if they call."
Lucic began his hockey journey with the Vancouver Giants, making a potential return to the Canucks a fitting end to his career. While the details are uncertain, Lucic plans to continue playing after his current contract expires.
