I agree it's totally on him to engage. I was just pointing no one else will do it because of the results, making all the more important for him to engage himself.
May not hurt to play him with a bit of a screwball like Kassian (when Kassian actually Kassians) as teams respond when he gets a little crazy and that in turn bring Lucic into the battle.
Yeah, even just a little bit would have helped him this year. I think we've seen enough Lucic now to know the guy is a completely different player when he's out there thinking he is the king of the rink and intimidating and manhandling guys. He went almost half a season doing none of that. Sole focus was trying to get a goal, exhausted while trying to chase McDavid around and keep up with the play. And the coach seemed completely OK with it all. He got his lucky goal, mission accomplished apparently. It just all looks so dumb in retrospect.
