Lucic is OK on shutdown when they play an effective forecheck, which is a defensive tactic. They played it badly today by giving Smith the puck - he made generally smart plays. If they don’t prevent a smooth breakout, his foot speed then is an issue.

Having a top line C would be nice. Monahans inability to play up to that level puts a lot of pressure on others.
Flames really need to upgrade on Monahan.
