I’d be more curious where Bob Lazar will land and in what.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Last chance, Curtis. Choosing Buffalo may stack the odds against him, but he has to make it count.

 

[RWatson29]

LMAO is this a joke. AHL One way right

 

[snowkiddin]

Was just thinking about him today. Honestly thought he went to Europe.

 

[CaptPantalones]

Worth a flyer I guess. The hungrier the bottom 6 candidates we have the better

 

[GoCaps2004]

for why?

 

[Mobiandi]

Treliving was hoping to get him signed to a two-way so can't blame him for jumping on the better deal. I'm not sure if he'll figure out his game in Buffalo though

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

AHL player. lol

 

[super6646]

Meh, make all the money you can kid. He isn’t worth a 1-way deal, so I’m not surprised the flames cut bait. Waste of a 2nd round pick.

You’re gonna shit when you find out where he was actually drafted.

 

[Snakepit]

Rumour was Calgary still wanted him back on a two way but if he can get a one way somewhere then good for him, can't blame him for jumping at it

The Flames gave a 2nd for him.

 

[treple13]

Had a good AHL year last year and Calgary's fourth line was so good down the stretch he never got a real shot.

He never was a bad 4th line player. Hopefully it works out for him somewhere

 

[izzy]

i mean, makes sense to go for a one way if he can get it, but buffalo seems like a place where he definitely wont find his game and ends up in europe

It’s just money. Doesn’t affect cap hit, so from a fan perspective one way or two way shouldn’t matter. Just a bit more pocket change out of the pocket of the Uber wealthy

 

[Potty John]

Would like to see him get another chance to succeed, he’s got the right attitude just not enough skill.

 

[Royal Thunder]

He better be in the AHL. Great kid but not an NHL player

 

[lakai17]

Similar to Sam Reinhart except a very very low hockey i.q

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

We didn’t acquire Zaitsev or Ceci today...all good.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

For league minimum to play on the 4th line or as a 13th forward, why not.

Why shouldn't a fan care about one or two way? I imagine he sees AHL time so if he can earn his full NHL cash while he's there then good for him, he wouldn't get that kind of deal in Calgary

 

[QcFlames12]

Has almost all the tools, has speed, grit and is solid defensively. Problem with Lazar is he has little Offensive IQ, doesn't throw the best passes and has hands of stone.

Using his teammates would also help him, could still become a solid player but really needs to work on the above mentioned qualities.

Because it doesn’t functionally affect anything. The whole cap hit is buried. About the only minor thing the average fan would want to consider is his deal will count on the 50 man, but other than that.... meh.

Fan can't be happy for him that he'll earn more money?
