Lucic, in his career, has been a good passer, a good shooter, and an effective physical presence.

Right now, he can't pass. He can't handle the puck, and he certainly isn't shooting it with any success. The hits he throws are largely irrelevant to the play — instead of separating guys from the puck like he has in the past, he's generally been just finishing his checks long after the puck is gone.

The Flames are getting flattened defensively when he's been on the ice, even moreso than his linemates in isolation. Straight-up dominated. And he's not even fighting — zero this year.
