Honestly, I like to hear this from a player. You can put up crazy points in the AHL, and come up and flounder, because the intensity is so amped up. It's always a crapshoot with a callup. Lazar is saying that he doesn't have that gap to bridge.
I would think that Czarnik is more of a trade chip than Lazar. You don't think that the Bruins would give up a 2nd after that game he played against them?
If that happens, Lazar is free money, and I think it would be an even draw in terms of Czarniks production.

It's not the intensity gap from the AHL to NHL that he has to bridge, it's the difference in talent level between the leagues that he has to bridge.
