I'm just saying that this is the type of depth I want to add fast tough high compete guys who can pk and grind but aren't completely inept offensively and can capitalize on some of the opportunities they create. I don't want a slow face puncher that can't pk or defend the rush. Me neither if we signed lucid I’d be so choked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Pick almost any tough player and you would probably get that same response from some on here they just enjoy watching us get bullied by their teams goons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's sub Tom Sestitio quality at this point. i dunno...7 goals on the 4th line is about right. At least he can fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 He was actually a very good 4th liner up until this past season, then his defensive metrics went from good to awful. I don't think he is an NHL player anymore. Maybe a PTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 One year 1M Perfect 4th liner. Steps up our hitting game and finally a heavy weight enforcer to deter liberties taken against our small superstars. This is a no brainer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll talk super Lucic slow for you. We need to be adding big bang for budget guys like...... Motte, Liam O'brein, Jack McBain, Will Lockwood if he could stay healthy, Sam Carrik, Gemel Smith, Klim Kostin, Will Cuylle, Reid Schaefer, Juho Lammiko, Pezzetta, Hathaway, Jake Evans, Teddy Blueger, Not flippin Looch. Our 4th line needs to be able to keep up and shut down. We need PKers who play fast and in your face. Not mean mugging pylons. It sucks we didn't get prime Ferland, Roussel together that would have been so fun to see. We've got a few good ones in Podkolzin, Bains, Bloom these guys take a little while to blossom thankfully Ryan Johnson, Tocchet, Foote know a little something about playing that role.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck You Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Eff this this guy, Obviously he's just looking for a contract @ his age! Talking bad about any team would hinder that process but that ship has already sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See it pretty often at the 11th hour of careers. Rob Brown, Ryan Smyth, Bobby Smith, Denis Savard. Theoren Fleury signing a PTO in Calgary and then the Flames freaking out when he was great in the preseason and cutting him because he didn't realize it was a publicity stunt.
