Just looking up Lazar now and he's a 2013 draft pick, first round. That's five first round picks from that draft Calgary has in their system. Monahan, Poirier, Klimchuk drafted, then Shinkaruk and Lazar trade for.
Certainly you hope two of the remaining four after Monahan make a push and make the team at this point. Lazar looked like an NHL'er last year for the Flames and if Poirier can get back on track with his personal issues it'd be nice to have Klimchuk or Shinkaruk show a jump as well.
It's been an up and down development for all four guys.. but here's hoping.
