Realistic expectations for Curtis Lazar?
This guy feels really underrated here, with most lineup predictions penciling him in on the 4th line or as the 13th forward.
I see a lot of potential upside though. Wouldn't shock me in the slightest to see him as a 1st liner. What are realistic expectations for him this year?
10 goals? 25 points?
Or do you see him breaking out in a bigger way? 20 goals? 50 points?
The team gave up a lot to get him and obviously see something there, protecting him in the expansion draft. What do you think they are Hoping to see from him this year?
I believe he's either going to be directly tied to the success/failure of Bennett this year, or nestled in right in Backlund's wing. I don't see him in any way as a 4th liner, and I'd think the team would agree.
