Oil Kings fan here who watched a lot of Lazar - one of my favourite junior players. Lazar got ill which seriously hampered his pro performance. He's a much better player than some are giving him credit for. I think his upside is solid third line with a slim chance of second line or he moves up due to injury above him. Think Bennett-light. He has good offensive skills and played a physical game in junior. He may not make it at all as a NHL regular but he's worth the gamble. He needed a change of scenery.
