Every coach has their blind spots and I wonder if Lewis is one of Sutter's? I'm not saying in any way that Lewis needs to come out as I'm actually a big fan of his and I think he does a lot of the simple things very well and is fairly consistent, but his fancy stats would seem to indicate he ranks low compared to many others. I just don't see Sutter scratching Lewis for Monahan, Ritchie or Carpenter at this point. I also think Lucic brings an element that nobody else in the forward group brings, and as a result, he too, is highly unlikely to get healthy scratched.
