2) great player with leadership skills, felt ottawa rushed him through the process.
3) allow Lazar to sit and learn the system, will let coaches do their job
4) Lazar seems out of shape and lack confidence, believe it's due to the situation he was put through in ottawa this season.

That seems very concerning. You would think a guy who is complaining about icetime would be working hard off the ice and in practice, doing everything possible to better his situation.
That said, our staff will obviously be on top of it if Burke is mentioning it.
