I think people need to stop looking at it as a #1, #2 and #3 line. The Flames have 3 lines that get equal time, and a 4th line. As someone said, Backlund and Coleman are at the top of the list for 5on5 ice time.
Whatever maximizes those 3 lines is fine by me.
I agree that we need another top6 forward, and Lucic should be on the 4th line, but so should Lewis and Rooney. Someone has to play on the top 3 lines, may as well be Looch, and it really doesn't matter which one of those 3 it is (or Ritchie, as well).
My bigger complaint is having Looch on a line with Toffoli, not a lot of speed there. Having said that, as someone mentioned, Lucic is good at carrying the puck up ice, which is what Lindholm and Toffoli need, so maybe it's a brilliant move, who knows?
