He was there because he played a bunch with McDavid and on the 1st PP the season before and scored 10 goals and 34 points.
Even in 18/19 the guy played 1:21 on the PP and over 50% of that was on the first unit.

You could maybe make an argument around Lucic being able to fit in better on the Flames because they are a strong possession team and he's only effective in the offensive end of the rink.
The argument that Lucic wasn't given good enough line mates in Edmonton to be effective is a false narrative though.
