I think Lazar would be in the rotation with Dube, Mangiapane, Quine, etc this season if he didn’t have to be put on waivers every time he was sent down to Stockton. A team such as the Oilers could put in a claim and he’d no longer be an asset for the organization. He has acquitted himself well this year in the AHL and will be a black ace for the Flames come playoff time. Depending on how deep they go and injuries deplete the roster I could see Lazar dress and earn another NHL gig if he brings some finish to his uptempo style. He’s a bubble NHL player, but I don’t think his opportunities are over yet.
