B's deal Milan Lucic to Kings, get No. 13 pick, Martin Jones, Colin Miller
— -- FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Boston Bruins traded forward Milan Lucic to the Los Angeles Kings on Friday in exchange for the No. 13 overall selection in the 2015 NHL draft, along with goaltender Martin Jones and prospect Colin Miller, the team announced Friday.
With the trade of Lucic, as well as Friday's earlier deal that sent defenseman Dougie Hamilton to the Calgary Flames, the Bruins now have the Nos. 13, 14 and 15 picks in this weekend's draft.
Lucic, 27, has one year remaining on his current contract worth $6.5 million and will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2015-16 season. He was looking for a contract extension with Boston.
The Bruins also will retain $2.7 million of Lucic's contract.
The Bruins originally drafted Lucic in the second round (No. 50 overall) of the 2006 NHL entry draft. He played eight seasons for the Bruins and accumulated 139 goals and 203 assists for 342 points in 566 regular-season games.
Lucic became a top-line left winger for the Bruins, but his production dropped considerably last season, as he scored only 18 goals and 26 assists for 44 points in 81 games. Bruins president Cam Neely called it a disappointing season for Lucic during the team's season-ending news conference.
