Agreed. I feel like Lucic was the only guy actually showing support for Ward in the way he was playing.
He seemed to have a very good relationship with Ward, and I wonder a bit how he'll respond with Ward gone. I imagine it will be bittersweet for him, being sad to see a guy he really liked lose his job with the team but also encouraged by the prospect of a competitive, hard working, winning culture being brought to the team.
