I don't understand how people say he's been given a chance?
He's never been given more than 4th line minutes wearing the Flames jersey which I think his production is in line with.
70 games played, 15 points with average TOI 9:54 = 0.21 PPG
Just for comparison:
Hathaway 175 games, 40 points with average TOI 10:47 = 0.23 PPG
Mangiapane 54 games, 13 points with average TOI 10:15 = 0.24 PPG
Dube 25 games, 5 points with average TOI 10:04 = 0.2 PPG
Personally I would love it if he stayed given another chance to and played on the wing with Backs. I've read somewhere earlier on the season that they have a good relationship which might translate onto the ice.
Lazar already has good physical tools and is a positive kid. Type of player we can utilize better IMO.
