IMO keeping Lazar was more of a reason for that at the time plus the signing of Jagr and there was no place for him to begin the season.

Imo, any bad blood revolved around dougies security blanket. Freddy was waived, janko was called up.
Maybe they wanted janko playing but imo two things were happening: the franchise was still trying to force Bennett at center and they were trying to keep dougie happy and motivated by keeping his brother around who was clearly not an NHler.
Had to rub some guys the wrong way.
