He will be behind McDavid but very few rushes have all three forwards abreast through the neutral zone. Most of the time it's 2.

As long as he gets there for the second pass in the offensive zone he'll be fine. And that shouldn't be a problem. And for any cycle game in the offensive zone he'll be the most effective player at getting McDavid the puck. If McDavid or Eberle get in trouble all they need to do is dump it behind the net or into Lucic's corner and let Lucic recover while the skill guys get into position.
