I look at 2 things.
1- would Lucic waive to battle Czarnik or Quine for popcorn row? Probably not. He’ll get a shot at top 6 and pp time at least.
2- would the flames knowingly take a minor role player at that contract with no hope or aspiration that he becomes more? Probably not. They may accept a floor but they are still going to take a run at upside.
I’ll wager Lucic gets more top 6 and PP time in Oct-Nov than any of Bennett, Mangiapane, Dube, Czarnik etc.

And that may well be. But the coach is paid to win games, and he is going to use Lucic the way he sees fit. And that is going to be as a bottom 6'er IMO.
