I'm happy that we have him. And I'm sure his teammates are even happier.
His salary is high, but better to have an intimidating presence and be annoyed with his slowness vs not having him, playing an energy guy like Mcginn, and watching our players get pushed around.
And I said all that without mentioning James Neal nor fact that deadmonton pays part of his salary.

McGinn and Blueger are both significantly more effective than Lucic at both ends of the ice. And they're both 6'.
