You hear how well Lucic plays with RH centres all the time, from the coaching staff, so I don’t see it not being a thing.

Yeah they talk about that a lot, but is there any evidence to back it up? (not arguing with you, just questioning the assessment) I mean, Ryan is a really solid player, so he is going to make guys look good, regardless of handedness.
On its own, I am totally fine with Ryan and Lucic- they have been great together. The challenge is that one of Ryan, Bennett or Dube gets pushed to the 4th line. And none of them deserve it.
(Bennett - Ryan - Dube would be a hell of a line)
But when I look at those guys, the one that I feel can still function just as well on the 4th line is Ryan - he makes anyone he plays with better. Which is why I like Bennett - Dube - Lucic, leaving Ryan to carry the 4th line with Frolik.
Anyway, the great thing about all this depth is lots and lots of options
