Been a fan of Lucic ever since I watched a couple of his old games and isolated his play. Love the subtle plays along the board, love his presence in front of the net, he can absorb contact and makes a good outlet pass, his cycle game is strong and he still forces defensemen to rush plays when they hear his footsteps.
But I have to say, based on this season, really loving his five hole goals. He doesn't have a rocket of a shot, so he relies on a quicker release. I hope he can continue to produce though as it's been a pleasant surprise. Still hate his contract beyond words, but good player, good guy.
