Thoughts on Lazar and all the moves?? I need your guys take on all this movement
Unfortunately his time was up in Ottawa. He completely lost his confidence. I don't think finishing up the year and starting anew next season would have made much difference. With a new coach this season, this was the year for him to show his potential.
Pan said it perfectly in a recent show. He was trying to play to not make a mistake and was not comfortable out there. When he did make a mistake, he just gripped his stick even tighter.
Making the team in his 1st year was obviously a mistake. I think a big reason he made the team was his infectious attitude and enthusiasm. Everyone just loved the kid. He should have been playing top line minutes back in junior then a season with the B Sens instead of 3rd/4th line minutes.
