I’m holding out hope myself; some mentioned Dustin Brown who at one point had a dastardly contract himself and has put together two 50+ point seasons. Do I think Lucic puts up 50 points? Not at all, do I think he can contribute 30-40 points?? I do if we utilize him as a net front presence on the 2nd unit. Ultimately time will decide what lucic becomes for the Flames but I don’t think it’s as dire or bad as a lot of the pundits and media have made this out to be. He’s joining the 2nd best offensive team in the league last year who’s only subtraction this far was their worst offensive player with regards to payment. I’m modestly optimistic that Lucic comes in and isn’t just a tank for us but brings other elements to the team that allows him to put up a 15/15 type season while providing much needed toughness and grit.
