No need for the condescending comments. I don’t think Lucic in a 4th line/spare forward role is a detriment to the team. I quite frankly don’t give a fk if you agree or not.
As for the first part, there is a reason you listed 6 retired players, it’s because those type of players are highly coveted and teams generally keep them especially if they can be had for a bargain. See: Michael Pezzetta, Noah Gregor, Ryan Lomberg. Etc.
