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

[Derg12]

Likely a number of Rochester prospects are making the permanent move 60 miles West on I90 - any number of Goalofsson, Smith, Nylander, Asplund, Thompson may be up full time and the Amerks could use some backfill.


That's my guess.

If I'm taking a flier on a guy, this is absolutely the kind of guy I do it on. Hope he can contribute. I remember his WJC being dominant years ago. And he's still young. Maybe he's a late bloomer.

I mean why not he basically fits the mold of a fourth liner and can always be waived if it doesn’t work out.

 

[sfoote]

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

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

You don't know either. It's Wilson, not Walker.

You don't know either. It's Wilson, not Walker.

Walker/Wilson aside, I'd be fine with Sobotka as the permanent 13/14 forward, meaning he would never sniff the ice. Unless Ralph can work his magic.

LMAO. Yep, dunno where Walker came from.

Buffalo is in desperate need of better bottom-six players so I’d be all for it, one-way and all. He’d come cheap and might be able to show something. I remember just a few years ago how high people were on him. Even if he can play regular minutes on the fourth line, I’d call it a win for the Sabres.

Worst thing happens and he’s put on waivers to go down to Roch and gives them a good player.

Very good value for a first round bust

 

[Tyrolean]

Curtis Bizarre.

I hope Lazar succeeds. He's a good kid. Great motor on the ice,a nd if he can get his mindset right, he could be an excellent 4th liner who can fill in on the 3rd line and get some garbage goals in the paint for your team. He has terrible hand, but he knows how to dig for the puck and cause havoc around the net.

 

[Rivet52]

Can’t dislike this. There’s a chance he can play on the fourth line and it’s a win if so. I’m hoping he’s good enough to make the team. If not, he can be one of Rochester’s better forwards. Glad our owner doesn’t mind handing out the one-ways even if the player may not play in Buffalo. Ensures a competitive team down there by bringing in quality AHL vets.

He must have got word that Hammond was signing with the Sabres so he could eat more burgers off the ice.
