Lucic was also on the first PP with McDavid, Draisaitl, and RNH for half the season.
To say that Lucic scored 20 points from a bottom six role last season isn't accurate.
I think if the Flames are looking for a bounce back candidate from former Oilers, Talbit is much more likely to have a strong season.

I didn’t say he played a bottom 6 role, I said he played bottom 6 minutes (13 minutes per game) and he did in fact finish top 6 in points among Oiler forwards, so it is indeed a pretty accurate statement.
