Lazar was Ottawa’s top prospect for over a year, and he still has a high pedigree. He captained Team Canada to a gold medal at the World Juniors in December and also the Edmonton Oil Kings to a Memorial Cup just over a year ago. He was born to lead, and he will be a very important part of the Senators future core.
Last season was quite underwhelming for him as he scored just 15 points, but he’s still just 20 years old. He isn’t a top line player, but he should become a responsible two-way player that can shut down other lines. He’ll be an assistant captain before long.
