Curtis Lazar is a player who's stock rose steadily through the season. First the question of if he would get a look out of camp was answered with a yes. That look turned into him staying in the NHL instead of being sent back to the CHL. There was one stretch of the season where he wasn't playing in the NHL - when he was busy winning a gold medal as captain of Canada's World Junior team.
One thing that didn't go as well as Lazar might have liked was point production, especially earlier in the season.
