Though Lucic was scheduled for a court appearance, the charges were dropped after his wife reportedly did not cooperate with the police investigation. Since the incident, Lucic's wife Brittany has sought both a protection order and a divorce.
I am requesting that [Milan] have no visitation with the children until such time as he completes an alcohol program, anger management program and a parenting program such that he can be trusted with the children.
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.

Given these developments, it appears no team is interested in signing Lucic, which may signal the end of his NHL career.
It looks like Milan Lucic's NHL career is over. He was struggling to keep up last season, and his arrest left him unwelcome back in Boston.
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.
