I hope Lazar pans out in Calgary. I hope a change of scenery does wonders for him and I hope he's a good fit. I'd be really glad to eat crow here, but right now, I don't think that was a good trade.

Very well said. The sky's not falling, I just don't believe the Flames got full value for their 2nd rounder. It could easily still turn out just fine.
