Lazar is a great 4th line player. Don't expect more than 15 points from him, and if he does that, then it's awesome. He just needs to be a good defensive player for us for it to be a good trade.
This past draft was weak, and the players drafted in the 10 or so picks after our 2nd leave little to be desired. The fact that Lazar will play NHL games moving forward is likely a huge upgrade over whatever the Flames would have been choosing from. Very thin past the first 35 or so picks last year.
