If you like Sutter because he makes it clear to each player their specific role on the team and lauded him for this whenever players mentioned this last year, it's tough to get too upset about Lucic getting 4th line minutes (getting 2nd line minutes, I can understand). Lucic's role isn't to score, it's to bring all the other elements he does. And because that role includes physicality, intimidation and leadership, there isn't a single AHL player with the Wranglers who would be better than Looch in his current role.
