I agree, not only has he been invisible but he hasn't even been the best player on his line.
But I also think part of the issue is Sutter's insistence on using Huberdeau's line as a cycle line, when Huberdeau's success game playing with Duclair and Bennett on an uptempo line. Lucic is playing well for the role, but the role itself is wrong. Kadri and Huberdeau deserve at least one opportunity to play with someone like Phillips or Pellettier who is going to win races up the ice rather than wall battles in the corners.
