Ignore this reality all you want, but pretending that he's doing just fine for a 4th liner doesn't change the fact that he isn't.
I trust Sutter and I'm glad he's the head coach of this team. But he definitely has his blind spots.
For the record though yes, it's also true that the top 6 forwards on this team need to be better. Especially Mangiapane.

I don't think anyone is making Lucic out to be a stud or a saviour. He's lost a step for sure.
He's just not as bad as some are claiming, and personally I think there are some intangible issues that the coach and I think players (from comments we've seen) value more than the average Flames fan that's upset the team is losing and chose to target the current team's worst players (and not their best)
