At this point its just good to get those 2 going no matter if its Lucic now and who ever going forward with them . The Flames need those 2 to click so results so far are good . lucic wasn't always a scrub . he was deadly in boston playing with better guys . lets just get huby and kadri going as a pair and just appreciated that lucic looks like his old boston days for now. I rewatched a mini doc about lucic and he said he needs to be at the highest emotional level possible to bring his best .well, Huby is very emotional when you watch him on the bench , Kadri is definitely a guy that plays on emotional highs and lows . I don't think lucic with those 2 are the answer permanently but I think we are seeing a resurgence in Lucic game for the time being because of those 2 . Lucic in his boston prime was the same as Iggy . there was a thing around the league 'don't poke the bear because he will wake up "
What I think is making that line gel now is not the competition poking them but 3 guys who are poking each other .
no reason these 3 can't be competent together . as short of 2 years ago that looks like an elite 2nd line . go back 4 in fantasy land and on paper that's a devastating 2nd line huby at 26 kadri at 28 and lucic at 30 years old . they all play that fast entry slow down and set up type play . no reason they cant do that still. i think that line sees a big uptick in possession and crash the net chances in the second half of the year
