I really believe that Pelletier would be a big improvement there. He is a very smart player for a 20 year old, and plays a lot grittier than his size would suggest. He would also bring some much needed speed to that line.
Pelletier - Monahan - Lewis looks like a damn good 4th line IMO.

Lucic also leads the team in hits despite being second behind Dube in time on ice. I don't see the Flames pulling Lucic for Pelletier, who is undersized. Could be matchup specific maybe if the Flames are up against a non physical and fast team. The Flames will likely want to keep Lucic going for a potential Colorado matchup.
