We didn't have Shore then (or Foo for that matter). Plus, IMO Lazar is better than any of the AHL guys you might look at for that role. I don't disagree that more was expected of Lazar, but IMO I think he has some upward mobility. I think he has third line potential. He certainly has the wheels, grit and motivation. He's been tremendously unlucky around the net.
