There’s some pretty good statistical evidence that shows he’s a fairly solid 2-way player who suffered a pretty rough year from an execution perspective in some pretty terrible circumstances. I think there’s good reason to believe he’ll bring more to the Flames than Neal did in 18/19.

If an Oiler fan had posted this two days ago, we would have collectively laughed at them. Deservedly so.
I get that people are grasping to find positives, that's fine. But using shot-based stats to argue against people stating the obvious was a fools errand when people claimed Gulutzans Flames were about to turn it around (when they were actually on the verge of collapse), and it's a fools errand now. Just don't do it.
Lucic hasn't been actually good for years, even when he used to put up points.
Even if he manages to be a serviceable fourth liner, Lucic will still cost more than a Neal buyout + the price of a fourth liner.
The odds of a player bouncing back after two seasons are virtually nonexistent. When has that ever happened?
