Lucic is merely a complimentary piece to that team, as was seen this year the three most important non goalies are Chara, Krejci and Bergeron. That is reflective of almost every great team in the league.

Are you trying to make the point that someone (i.e. me) was suggesting that the Flames should build the team around Ritchie?
I want the Flames to draft one of the Sams.
I was merely demonstrating that another poster's attempt to portray Lucic as the upside for Ritchie was a flawed argument.
