Lazar looking for an opportunity

Curtis Lazar had a fantastic WHL career with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He went to the Memorial Cup as a rookie in 2012. In 2013, he lost in the WHL final to Portland, and in 2014 he returned to the Memorial Cup and won. He scored 99-69-168 in three seasons with the Oil Kings and added 27 goals and 52 points in 63 WHL playoff games. He was drafted 17th overall in 2013 by Ottawa, and I felt the Senators rushed him to the NHL at 19 years of age. He was a regular his first two seasons, but last year he only dressed for 33 games before being traded to Calgary on March 1.
