i think Lazar had more expectations put on him because Calgary gave up a 2nd for him; Czarnik was essentially 'free', with the caveat of cap implications and opportunity costs in signing him.
Lazar does have the asset of speed going for him, so even if he doesn't score, he could be invaluable as part of an energy line... possible upside to chip in a few here and there makes him a possible call up for the playoff run imo
