I don't see that as a problem for a fourth line player.

It just seems like a cherry picked stat where Lucic is still bad. Amongst 4th liners in that stat category, he would be well below average. Notable names below him in that category that I would take over him would include - Kaprizov, Terry, Nugent Hopkins, Hughes, Stutzle, Crosby, Suzuki, Bennett, Berniers, caulfield, Schwartz, Duchene, guentzel, forsberg, kyrou, Tkachuk, Konecny.
Even on the Flames he is the worst 4th liner in that category, the only players worse than him are Kadri, Dube, Mangiapane.
