Oh and btw, Lucic played the majority of the year with Toffoli, Kopitar and Carter. Those were +35, +34 and +18 themselves respectively, so it certainly doesn't mean that Lucic himself was that outstanding. All of those had great +/- numbers.

Not to mention that the two previous years Lucic was playing with Bergeron and Marchand: Two of the most impressive +/- players over that time. He's always had the benefit of having good line mates.
