I'm not sure if Lucic is nursing an injury or running out of gas but he's starting to look like he did in his last season with the Oilers where the puck was like a grenade on his stick and I'm not sure it's wise to place him on the same line as Monahan who seems to have the effect of making his wingers worse.

Yeah, but do you ruin 2 lines or just 1.
Its the problem when you have 2 players not exactly suited for 4th line duties who are a massive liability playing with each other.
