That sounded so implausible, in part because the perceived value for Lazar was lower than a second, that posters such as myself and sureloss questioned whether the sens were attempting to manipulate the market by saying they had a second when they didn't.
As it turns out it was likely the flames who were involved early with an offer for a second round pick, and after no one else stepped up, the sens made the deal with Calgary after bishop ended up going to LA.

You're making assumptions to fit your narrative.
He was available for weeks because they were trying to trade him. Of course they were going to wait to try and get the best return possible. They tried to get a 1st but couldn't.
Those are the only facts.
