Problem is at this stage of his career he's not magically going to learn puck skills.
He is a caveman hockey player, getting lighter might make him a little faster, but probably also easier to push off the puck.
Throughout his career he always displayed decent puck skills for a player of his type, that's what made him so valuable. It's very obvious that the guy's confidence is completely shot and who knows if he will be able to get it back.
A few things I think helped destroy his confidence and his play this season.
- The team's brutal PP.
- The fact that Lucic does some of his best work in front of the net and with the GI now you can't even really go anywhere near the goalie without risking a GI call taking a goal away.
- Todd stapling him to McDavid even when it clearly wasn't working.
