Although as posted in Lucic signing thread - deterrent doesn't really exist given Marc Savard had his career ended with Lucic on his wing and on the toughest team in the league.

"Fighting" isn't the issue. It is knowing that someone has your back that matters. With the Flames last year, everyone knew that there was no one willing to throw down when it became necessary. This year they have a guy and he'll be riding shotgun on one of the lines with the kids who need that confidence. This isn't about fighting. It's about the opposition knowing if they attempt to take liberties there will be an immediate response.
