We've seen it over and over with young players getting faster and smarter every year. Lucic is done. He'll get a little slower each year and he's too slow to contribute now.

I really think it's getting to the point where teams shouldn't offer long term deals to any players 30+ unless at the time they are still very good skaters. It seems that guys that don't skate well just fall off a cliff at 30. Young players are coming into the league are better skaters than past generations and the league is getting faster.
