Lazar is already in bust territory. If he wasn't a Flame and I asked you if a prospect in his 3rd season had 1 point in 33 games was going to be a bust, I bet you'd say yes. Its unfortunate that Ottawa didn't have the patience to develop him right. Maybe the Flames can turn it around.
I'm far from a draft pick hoarder. Read my post history, I've been advocating for the Flames to trade picks for help all season. I just don't think Lazar is worth it. He is not an upgrade on anyone on the roster and he's regressing.
It's a steep price for a big gamble. Plain and simple.

No, it isn't a steep price. Also, as has been mentioned, Lazar had Mono this year so I think it's pretty meaningless to judge based on this year. Based on the two previous season he is projecting to be a bottom 6 forward in the NHL. A 22 year old bottom 6 forward for a 2nd round pick- not a steep price.
