I personally think it is a decent gamble. There is a lot to Lazar's game that is good, but he just hasn't been able to put it together. All that missing time and being rushed into the NHL hasn't helped matters. Maybe he figures it out, and maybe he doesn't. He does show flashes, and hopefully those flashes can start becoming more regular.
It is too soon to call that trade good or bad just yet, but I do think the gamble was a good one to take at the time.
