I am really curious here how many of ya'll....as of now before camp....want Lucic on this team?
I am feeling I'm in the minority.
I'd like to see Lucic make the team. Not worried about the off ice issues. I think that he is in a good space now. We'll see if he can play anymore.
Yes. This team needs its Tom Wilson. Schenn can’t keep carrying that weight and our young kids need a sense of comfortability.
Unfortunately, the only player available to us that fits that mold is Lucic. So yes I hope he stills has the speed and ability to play minutes a few times a week. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t and that’s a missed opportunity for us.
As for his off ice issues, I don’t believe in cancelling someone. He deserves a second chance, but not a third.

If he’s one of the best 14 options at forward then yes, I’d want him on the team. If he’s not one of the 14 best and they force him onto the team anyway then no, I wouldn’t like it.
That said, I doubt that happens. I’m interested to see how he measures up. We could certainly use the toughness element he brings.

Would be pretty silly to have already made that decision IMO. What would a person base that opinion on?
Also it really makes not difference to me at all if he is here, I would only care how they used him vs others. It amazing me sometimes how caught up people get in guys that are just extra options.
I view it as a spot Skilles. And better suited elsewhere.
I'm sensing a good 'ol boy mentality here to put him on the roster.
That's just me.
If I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it.
It kind of sounds like you are more concerned about coaching decisions
I went to Centene and caught one half hour of action. Here are a couple of things that I noticed. Kyrou looks a little heavier or bulkier. Holloway being back was a welcome sight. Carbonneau was pretty impressive speed wise and also shifty. Malloux can bring the heat with his shot and appears to be a really good skater. The prospect who stood out most to me was Stancl. He made a couple of good plays that impressed. I only got to watch group B and only for a half hour. The team looked fast and focused. I forgot to add that Tucker looked a lot slimmer.
