Trading Lazar is silly mis-management at this stage. We’ve put no time into developing him properly, which was what the Flames said they would do. Playing Lazar with Brouwer and Stajan, and expecting him to produce or be effective, was the exact spot Bennett was in with his linemates when everyone around here was running around calling him a bust.
Lazar needs time away from Brouwer/Stajan before we can properly assess him, and it confuses me at just how quick people turn on young, developing players when we have so many examples of patience paying off on our roster right now.
