It feels like Lauzon has been groomed to play the right. The lineups Divver posts always seem to have him lining up on the right side. He played the right side with Chara last year when he got some top pair time. He's been playing the right with Gryz this year.
I've mentioned this before but it works out really well when that 3rd pair D can be a lefty who plays the right, because when you kill penalties you can go with two big lefties (Chara/Lauzon) and two big righties (McAvoy/Carlo).
One of the big reasons they brought in Moore was because they felt there was too much pressure on Chara as the only LH D who could kill penalties. Problem solved.
Lauzon's presence lets you keep Krug and Gryz in the lineup and makes Moore expendable.
I may have missed something, but is this a one way contract ?

Petty much this.^^ also a cup would seal the deal for retirement.Not sure what Dan thinks, but I think it is possible that he doesn't. He started off pretty well, but he's been looking slower and slower recently and his puck-handling has gotten even worse. The things he is a really good at he is still really good at, but you can't win the battle against time. Beyond that, it would be better in the long-run for the team if he retires. He might give pasasble service next season, but at the expense of players than need the time- guys like Zboril and Vaak, and Zboril particularly who is an RFA after the season and you would think would get a Cehlarik like prove something deal for next season.
But on topic of the thread, super happy to see Lauzon extended. I like him a lot and being versatile right and left is huge.
I may be so wrong but this might be the first step towards moving a D man
Agree on a lot of this, but still don't think Krug is here beyond this year. They need to allocate that money up front. IMO of course.
Lauzon at 850K the next two years is beyond awesome. Congrats to the kid, can't wait to see more of him.

Excellent move. I've liked Lauzon ever since I saw him live at the WJC in Montreal. Nice combination of skill, size, and a willingness to play a hard game.
Do we think this is to help trade piece?
Great signing, I want to see him play regularly.
Time to move Gryz and or Moore?
