I don't think anyone is suggesting, or eagerly awaiting, Lucic playing top line minutes for extended periods of time.
I do think it will be interesting to see if the advanced stats match the eye test, though. I have a hard time believing Staples was right about anything Oiler related, so the idea that Lucic is a driver of possession seems just wrong to me, but I hope he proves it in Flames colours.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
