Lucic was a bit of hyperbole, but at least he makes things happen.
I guarantee you Monahan is higher on Sutter's list of players he likes. He likes Lindholm too. He has issues with the other two.

I agree Sutter like Monny for what he brings defensively, as basically a third line checking centre.
If he was a 4th round pick and making $2.5M no one would be complaining.
But it wasn't that long ago we were hoping he'd be a consistent 80 point guy, first line centre. I think those days are gone, likely due to chronic injuries.
I commend Monny for becoming what he can become. I don't think he will be moved, as there is no real market for him that would improve the Flames. And perhaps his injuries are not chronic, his offence will rebound, and he can be offensively productive again. No reason to sell at his very lowest point.
