Let’s get a Lucic chant going first game of the season and embrace him and his role on the team. Yes, the contract sucks but forget about that and take him for what he is at face value. He will fit in well on the 4th line and provide more than Neal was ever going to despite what he does in Edmonton.
We rescued him from Edmonton so let’s let him return the favor by hitting, fighting, and chipping in the odd goal. Yes, he’s a mean goon, but let’s embrace him as our mean goon.

If he goes out and hits people without getting penalized, and can do that on a consistent basis, he will have met my expectations.
I expect him to get under 20 points. He will have fourth line minutes by November. Someone from training camp or another trade will take his third line spot.
