We should never want to build a roster to defend against Lucic--the Greasers would walk away from that boat anchor in a heartbeat if the contract didn't prevent it. I love it when he's out there because it's tying one hand behind their back. I hope he plays 25 minutes a night against us next year.
The only way I want a "tough guy" is if it's someone like Jarome--skilled and can beat the crap out of someone who is cheapshotting our guys. They're rare; maybe Tkachuk has some of that, though to be fair, Jarome finished what other guys started, while Tkachuk often starts things, which we could have used more of in the last six weeks.
