Finding Hyman
Lucic has actually played well in the latest games. I understand the ongoing frustration with the player, yes, but he's a low event play both ways that is still very physical and that can impact opposition. When he gets all of somebody they skate off right to the dressing room to gather up their bones. Hits like that cause players to look around more. They do factor.
In anycase its interesting that Lucic is -8 on a very bad club and despite low production is not getting buried out there.
Adam Larsson, making the same pay (approx.) is -25 and we traded Hall for him.
Optics wise I know which player and contract is harder to look at.
I look at Lucic and if he was paid 2.5M less I would hardly notice how bad he is.
I look at Larsson play, at any price, and want to cry.
