No cup history. Way less intimidation factor. Never discussed as a leader on the team or an important part in the room.
Trust me man, I'm not making a case to move Lucic up the roster ... I'm just saying more than goals and assists come into him holding down a fourth line role.

Maybe. We’re not in the room or on the ice with any of these guys so who really knows.
Holding down a regular 4th line spot might be more than goals and assists. In fact, I know it is. I thought Jarnkrok was great in his time here despite producing nothing. But his defensive game was fantastic. What’s Lucic doing on the ice?
Intangibles are great. But NHLers have to bring something tangible to the table, too. And it’s hard to see with him lately.
