Don't know if it's been talked about/recognized here, but something that was pointed out to me:
The Lucic family was HUGE in terms of hosting/coordinating/facilitating things like team get-togethers, dinners, events, etc.
Lucic and his wife were big catalysts for getting guys connected off the ice and helping the wives and families feel acclimated here in the city.
It'll be interesting to see what family/families step in to fill the gap; culturally Lucic was really good for the team beyond his on-ice play.
