I think some people are really going to be shocked at how bad Lucic actually is. It’s all well and good to say those attributes have value, but they only have value on players who can play. Tkachuk and Kane are examples of those kinds of guys. When hits and toughness come with a guy who can’t skate or make even the simple plays, and who really only engages with other teams’ knuckle chuckers it means nothing. What we have is a $6 million player who I think struggles to even make the lineup. A $6 million Peluso.
