The one thing I find interesting is that Lazar hasn't really had good linemates these last two seasons.
This year he's played most of his minutes with Neil and Kelly.
Last year it was Neil and Chiasson.
That would be like throwing Bennett out there with Bollig and Chiasson and expecting him to succeed.
When he had his promising rookie season he played with Condra and Pageau. Who aren't great but are at least better NHLers than Neal and Kelly.
He has size and speed, and seems to have the right mind set and work ethic to work on his deficiencies. Could easily become a piece of a good third line for us IMO.
