If you are running out a lot of younger guys like Arizona, Buffalo, or Anaheim. Having a guy like Lucic as a deterrent to keep teams from taking liberties on those guys has value. Plus the money owed is no huge, and come deadline with salary retention to get his cap hit down he's good depth for a playoff team.
When Monahan and Gaudreau were younger guys the Flames had Big Ern, Westgarth, and Engelland to police things.
