Writing off 23 years olds and claiming they will never improve is what is idiotic. I mean I know you're a veteran of this board so surely you've seen players break out at age 24, 25, 26. It happens pretty regularly in fact.

Except he didn't say that.
Read Corsi's post again. Yeah most likely Lazar is not going to turn into Frolik, Lindholm, Chris Clark or any other exceptions out there IMO.
