I can recall him committing one egregious turnover a couple games ago but every player on the team has been guilty of this. Usually Lucic is good at carrying the puck along the boards and getting it deep into the offensive zone. Mangi and Dube have been guilty of this much more than Looch of late, for example.

He's not an enforcer, but I agree I'd like to see him drop the gloves a little more frequently. Looks like he had 7 fights last season.

Occasionally the 4th line gets pinned in the defensive zone if there's a mismatch. I don't think this has happened recently any more than you'd expect - usually Looch/Lewis/Ritchie are decent at winning puck battles and regaining possession.

Who cares? That's not his role.

But he's not the #9 forward.
