Canada has now gone five yrs without winning gold in the WJC so I would like to see Lazar returned to junior so that he can captain the team. I would like nothing better than to see Lazar on a line with McDavid for the press that would generate & Lazar to win a gold medal & lift the cup & the press that would generate & bring to an Ottawa Senator prospect. Ottawa could use some great news.
If Lazar could have a great tournament, maybe be right up there in pts & help the team to win it all would be great for his confidence & we would have an even better more confident prospect next yr. Would that be the same if he was already playing in Ottawa, I don't know? He would probably be considered a pro playing with juniors & expected to be the best player, it may not have the same effect overall. Nor for his confidence but while being a junior there is no argument since every team has great junior players on them. We still don't know for sure if he will be staying after the nine game mark, although BM has said as much & most think he will, we'll see.
