what??
lucic had a crap season, no doubt. The playoffs, however, have shown how effective he can be. He's big, tough, has great hands, and has surprisingly good speed in the open ice.
Kreci is the best Center in the playoffs over the past 3 year period as a whole. Him and bergeron are ridiculously smart players, who appear to thrive in creating tons of offense when games get tight (ie. playoff hockey). Over the past 3 seasons, i'd easily take kreci/bergeron over toews/sharp (whoever they use as the 2nd line C), over crosby/malkin, over kopitar/richards, over thornton/pavelski (whoever they use as the 2nd line C).
top end skill that play well in all 3 zones, towers of strength like chara/lucic that quickly dissolve any scrums as few have the stones to go up against them.
