I will say this about Lucic. He's the first guy in the last few years (since Versteeg, I'd say) to lock down a role on the Flames' third line. The last couple years, it's sort of existed in flux with guys like Bennett and Jankowski occupying spots there without really establishing themselves as a unit.

Lucic helped make that line a reliable unit. He, Ryan, and Dube were an effective third option that brought a different dynamic to the ice whenever they had a shift. I really enjoyed watching them.
