When the Boston Bruins signed former forward Milan Lucic to a free agent contract in the summer of 2023, it certainly opened some eyes. The former tough guy who was a part of the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship team with five goals and 17 points in 25 games that spring lasted just four games with the Black and Gold in the 2023-24 season.
Shortly after the season began, Lucic was arrested for assault and battery and never played another game for the Bruins. He has not been seen or really heard from since then, but two summers after signing for a second time with Boston, he's looking at one more return to the NHL after signing a professional tryout (PTO) with a Western Conference team.
