Confirmed Signing with Link: [BUF] Curtis Lazar signs with the Sabres (1 year, $700K)

[DecadeofDarkness22]

man such a waste of a 2nd round pick..

 

[ChaoticOrange]

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

Sure they can, my comment was more about those wondering why he got an NHL deal.

 

[CaptPantalones]

41 points in 57 games in the AHL last year. And reports say his game looked a lot better after his demotion last year. Zero risk in seeing what the kid has

He is a 4th liner... nothing to see..if that's what they need ..great

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

why...

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

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

Because you have prospects that can do that. Whats why not.

I don the know Buffalos prospect pool enough to comment on that. Do they have some guys that are better suited for that 13th forward role? Keep in mind Lazar could easily be waived if prospects surpass at any point in the season.

Yep. Scott Walker.....and Vlad Sobotka.

Lazar is likely destined for top-line duty in Rochester, where we/they need forwards.

Probably, but if this is true, which I have 0 reason to see why it isn't, it means Buffalo has a deal in the works that will most likely alter their near ready to NHL ready kids for bott9m 6 duty.

I'm just guessing here, but they are preparing to shift Mitts to 3rd line center in anticipation of bringing in a true 2C, with Lazar on his wing or the 4th line. Just a guess.

 

[CaptPantalones]

No you don't. Not when they can play more meaningful minutes in Rochester.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

He's fine as a 13th forward.

 

[5 Minute Major]

You do understand a player can be waived?

 

[Kranix]

He's not an NHL player

 

[RyderRocks73]

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

XD Who figures their game out in Buffalo?

 

[Sparky93]

Good for Lazar, sure he’ll be a very functional 4th liner for years to come. Personally, I don’t think he ever really got a real shot last year.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think he could've been a 2nd line centre if developed properly. But I think maybe he slowly finds his game again.

No sir, that was never happening.

 

[Sparky93]

100%, he just doesn’t have the talent but I do think he can be a very good 4C

Meh. He could be I guess, I'd rather my own prospect in there, but he might do.

 

[Clayonator]

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

This could not be better timed. Gold.

Good team guy, lots of heart, sprinkled with a little physicality and talent....what more can you ask for for the 4th.

 

[Seanaconda]

Prospects shouldn't be 13th forward just call them up when someone gets injured. I'd rather have prospects playing as much hockey as they can vs sitting in the press box

 

[SpezDispenser]

Some talent.

 

[DJJones]

Disappointing, wanted him on a two way. He'll do fine on a 4th line.

 

[Sparky93]

Some talent.

True.....true, 4th line talent, though.
