What amazes me about Lucic is how good of a passer he is. Always tape to tape.

I said it in a game thread recently, but I'm convinced he's one of the best forwards at creating a controlled breakout. He had a couple bad luck plays last year that hit skates and lead to goals against, but he's really good at the subtle touch pass, or absorbing contact and making the bump to the centre or a pinching D with his back to the play.
He's also deceptively fast as mentioned, which likely seems surprising due to his spinal condition and overall size.
I do love his fivehole snipes, I would wager at least half of all his goals have been a hard shot fivehole.
The slowmo replay of his quick hard shot vs Pittsburgh really highlighted why it works so consistently for him:
