I haven't followed Lazar so I'm meh about the acquisition. Obviously the focus on him is for next year, not this year.
My bigger concern is the expansion draft implications -- I have to think this means Brouwer gets exposed. Not that I'd be sad to lose him, but the whole "sign as a UFA, get exposed a year later" seems a bit iffy to me. Maybe I'm overreacting on that front.

Is that really the worst case scenario if we lose Lazar? It would be like trading a 2nd round pick to Las Vegas to leave the other guys alone.

Interesting take, but if we expose Lazar and he gets picked, it's clearly a bad return even if the second rounder doesn't pan out. Would you give up a second so you get the keep the likes for Bouma, Kulak, and Wotherspoon for another year? I sure wouldn't...

Maybe next year when Jankowski comes in and takes over the #3C spot from Bennett /wishfulthinking
