New Details Emerge In Lucic Arrest As He Faces Potential Jail Time For Assault

The Bruins forward was arrested last Saturday after a night out in which he was likely drinking heavily. Police reported that he appeared to be intoxicated when they arrived at the Lucic residence.

Now there are numerous questions surrounding Lucic including what his future in the NHL will look like following the outcome of his trial. Many believe that his career is in jeopardy if it isn't effectively over already.

The Bruins likely have a case to terminate Lucic's contract under the NHL's morality clause, but they have not done so yet. It is possible that the team is awaiting the results of the trial before they make anything official. Some believe that the team is waiting until Lucic completes his mandatory 30-day minimum stay in the Player's assistance program before making the move official.

Notably, Lucic did plead not guilty to the charge of assault and battery.

Assault and battery carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail and a 1000 dollar fine in the state of Massachusetts.
