His stock didn't plummet with respect to how good he is - that hasn't changed at all from what I can see. What changed is peoples' attitude towards him for (presumably) not wanting to sign here. That all seems rather expected to me, and not hyperbolic at all.
And the only people that I see that think Lucic is the worst player in the NHL are Oiler fans. I think the general view is/was that he was a boat anchor because of his contract. But arguably still the 4th or 5th best forward on the Oil.
