Initial Reaction: Curtis Lazar traded to Calgary Flames for a 2nd-Round Pick

Curtis Lazar’s tenure with the Ottawa Senators has come to an end in very underwhelming fashion. After scoring one point in 33 games this year, being a routine healthy scratch, and reportedly asking for a trade, he was shipped to the Flames (along with Mike Kostka) for a 2nd-round pick and NHL/AHL tweener Jyrki Jokipakka. All said, it was a pretty good return for a player who never showed he really belonged in the NHL. It also means Ottawa now has four picks in 2017 again, so the team’s scouts won’t be getting the summer off.
