If this team was scoring more, etc, I wouldn't really question it as much, but with their lack of scoring, and putting Lucic on the second line, it's difficult to watch (I still don't think the Lucic experiment will last, but I'd love to be wrong on that one).

But it's been better of late no? The team is playing better, scoring more, and getting more wins. And they are getting more out of Hubredeau. I don't think Lucic on the 2nd line can be the long-term plan, and I assume right now Ruzicka will eventually make it back. But right now it's working more than it's not working isn't it?
The likelihood that MP is a 50 point player in the NHL or even a 40 point player is VERY small.
