Everyone is concerned but you just jumped the shark.
He has an 18 goal season as a 19 year old and a 13 goal season as a 20 year old. Lazar has a career total of 13 goals.
So no.
The kid has jam and can skate. His downside is what he is now, a third liner that kicks in 25 to 40 points per season not some plummeting level you are envisioning that has him cut loose.
And how exactly did Gulutzan ruin him?
He was converted to a center in the last 1/3 of Harltey's last season as an organizational decision and has remained there until recently.
