I have to agree with Lucic, he is dreadful out there. I appreciate his positive attitude and I believe he is mentally engaged, but he is a 1980s/90s player...not mde for today's game.

He's a worse black hole for ending plays than Horcoff was, and that's saying something.

I'm just happy the Oilers have a coach that realises what Lucic has to offer, albeit not much, but he is a good forechecker and can waste some time and put some physical pressure on opposition players. McLellan had this wierd belief he could contribute in the top 6 and took valuable minutes away from developing players to waste on him.

LUCIC IS UNDERUSED!
WHAT A BEAUTY, PLAYING THE GAME THE CANADIAN WAY. HE'S JUST ONE GOAL AWAY FROM NEEDING 48 MORE FOR A 50 GOAL SEASON!

isn't Lucic playing on Ken's 3rd line? so, his usage is appropriate at the moment. He's a third line dude

Tanev is pretty effective, hits, blocks shots, pk, 1.2M on the 3rd line. You've got a serious hate on for a kid who has earned every minute of TOI the hard way. Thought you would go with Meyers to be honest. If I had to choose most over-used, I would probably say Adam Larsson. He is a good stay at home D who can hit, but 2nd on the team TOI, and a career high 4 goals (18 throughout 452 games) is pretty alarming considering the oppurtunities provided.
