Lazar got a legitimate chance here and he was simply not a fit. I love him as a person but he was a poor Flame. He was not a good handler of the puck.
And I'm honestly sceptical of his success in Buffalo. The Sabres are only generating 37.9% of the shots and shot attempts when he's on the ice, by far and away the worst mark on the team. Lazar has scored 4 goals on 12 shots and I don't think it's unreasonable to say Jankowski is more than capable of going on a similar run.
