It sucks, but with his contract structure, at this point I would just count it as a sunk cost and move on. No sense in buying him out as we won't save anything. If someone wants to take him off our hands, fine, but he still showed to be an NHLer here and there last year, so we just keep him and hope he either gets a little quicker, or develops Hossa-itis.
As you say - Tippett has gotten more from less, so, yet again because I'm stupid and I never learn, I will be optimistic that he can be a super expensive but OK 3rd liner.

Alex Steen is a fourth liner in St Louis this year (again - worth noting that none of the teams that went deep this year rely on a 4th line to simply check and hit). I think that maybe the approach with Lucic has to be similar (even though he's not as good as Steen). Play him way down the roster, and hope that he can at least match up okay against other team's fourth lines. There's just no point giving him a push and hoping when he's shown nothing to deserve that.
Tippett...well, I'll reserve judgement. I'm cautiously optimistic at best.
|
Lucic will be a tough nut to crack. Guy has been going through the motions for some time now. I would really prefer that Tippett not have to waste his energy on trying to get Lucic's butt in gear to at least embrace a crash and banger role on the team, so he is at least doing something out there aside from weak routine hits and giveaways.
