Of course not, but he’s not the solution either. That’s what’s angering people. I don’t think any honest Flames fan that’s watched this team would point to Lucic as being even close to the biggest issue with the team.
It’s Sutter’s usage of him that’s the issue. He should be playing every 2nd game or against the bigger teams. He should be playing 8-10 minutes/game, maybe 12 if he’s on.
Instead Sutter has him on the ice what seems like every 2nd shift, and he’s moving him up and down the lineup.
Lucic can still be effective but he isn’t effective anywhere but the 4th line and he needs his icetime severely limited. That’s obvious to everyone but Daryl.
