I think the Lazar deal is better. The real question is - if Calgary had a chance with their second round pick (around number 50) to get a player guaranteed to be Lazar, would you pick him? I would.

So you'd pick a player guaranteed to be a Lazar? On the cusp of a bust with 1 assist in his last 33 games?
You might, and the Flames did, but 29 other teams passed.
