Lucic is pretty uniformly recognized as one of the toughest players in the league, even if the rest of his skillset has diminished. You don't need speed to be intimidating.
If used properly, his presence is going to wear down other teams, especially when the 'heavy' comes in the playoffs.
I'm not enamored with the trade, but I can see what Lucic can bring to the table and am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus if he's anything like what other players say about him, he's going to be on fire (pardon the pun) to get out of a ####ty situation and onto a rival contender.
