Being 29 doesn't make you old, whether you like it or not. And if having players in their late 20's is too old for any team,this sport isn't long for this world. I'm not saying Lucic is anything they need or want, but every single team in professional sports HAS to have some veterans. Trying to spin it like someone that's 29 is too old to be on any rebuilding team is just plain stupid.
Someone with Lucic's build and physical wear and tear at age 29 is too old for my liking. Power forwards don't age well in this league, save for the very rare few. Lucic is not going to be part of that select few.
Far better player than Lucic,you seem to forget Ryan has been injuried most of the season...When he is healthy Ryan is the far far better player period
Untrue. He's been fighting the puck a bit, but that's probably confidence. He's always had okay hands, he just is rushing it now - even before Christmas, his "hands" were okay. It was keeping up with the play that was the biggest issue.
No its true ,Ryan is far more skilled than Lucic ...Ryan,s biggest issue is staying healthy.... Like i have said before has had so many broken hands and fingers we have lost count in Ottawa,he has been playing games where he said he cant shoot because of it...You can think what you want but no way i would take a Lucic over a healthy Ryan
No, it isn't true anymore. Bobby Ryan isn't the player he once was. His hands are gone. All those busted hands and fingers has taken his biggest weapon away. A healthy Bobby Ryan would require a time machine, his hands are damaged and he has no shot because of it.
Even without the shot Ryan is still the far better skilled winger,he can still dangle and pass far far better than Lucic could ever....Ryan has as many points as Lucic in 20 less games.....Yet you seem to think he is better??
I think this is a possibility this summer seeing the lack of LH depth on the Avs roster currently.
Or we have Lucic 31 point in 72 games as apposed to Ryan,s 51 games played and 27 points.....Ryan>Lucic
