Milan Lucic's future in the NHL has been settled
Milan Lucic's NHL career appears to be over after his arrest last season.
When news broke that Milan Lucic had been arrested on charges of domestic violence, it seemed to mark the end of his NHL career. Lucic had returned to the Boston Bruins on a one-year contract for what was meant to be a victory lap, but things didn't go as planned. On November 9, 2023, Lucic was arrested following a domestic incident. The Bruins responded by placing Lucic on indefinite leave, which was the right move under the circumstances.

As the season progressed, more details emerged, revealing the severity of the charges against Lucic. He was scheduled to appear in court, but the charges were dropped after his wife refused to cooperate with the investigation. Despite this, Brittany Lucic has since filed for both divorce and an order of protection against her husband, according to Radar Online.
Should the court disagree with my request, then in the alternative I request that the court allow only professionally monitored visitation with Soberlink testing to be performed within one hour before and one hour after visitation. I am also requesting that the Court Order all communications between the Parties to be through.
As his personal life continues to unravel, it appears Lucic will be unable to find work on the ice. According to a reliable source on X, it seems Lucic's career is coming to an end.
There has been no interest in him this summer and he hasn't been connected to anyone via rumors. At 36, it's fair to say it's game over.
If true, Lucic will end his career with 1,177 games played, 233 goals, and 353 assists. Lucic was one of the last remaining power forwards from a previous era. Despite a strong NHL career, it's likely that Lucic will be remembered more for this incident than his achievements on the ice.
