I get that some people think he is useless because he can't score. But offense is not the only aspect of this game. He does a lot of good things, and there is plenty of reason why the coach trusts him.
I agree 100% that he shouldn't be playing 15 minutes a game, like he did last night, but for the season he is at 11 minutes. I would prefer 8-10 too, but the amount of complaining around here (not directed at you) for the ice time that the 4th line gets is over the top, IMO.

I’ve been on this all season but I think Lucic needs to be platooned. He’s much better with games off. We all saw his starts to the season are pretty good and he tails off. Ritchie is the same way. I think they should play on and off.
