Good character guy, knows when to scrap, and has years of experience that is important for the younger guys. Haven’t heard anything negative about him as a teammate or person. And honestly I’d need to see the advanced stats on his play but I don’t think he’s the albatross out there some of you make it seem.
I get it, he’s on the tail of his career and he’s overpaid. Again, we knew that going in, it was the best option and he’s been way better than Neal. Can we stop relentlessly ####ting on the guy every ####ing thread?

The issue is when the coach FINALLY drops his ice time. The other players are getting more ice time and we get a big win. Some of us have been asking for this forever. I’m fine with Lucic 5-7 mins ice per game. Just not 12-14 and in horrificly managed spots like right after a goal against or in the last 3 mins of a game.
