Curtis Lazar and the Edmonton Oil Kings are currently in Game 6 of the WHL Final. The score is tied 5-5 with 5 minutes left in the game, and the Oil Kings are looking to advance to the Memorial Cup. The Oil Kings were down 2-0 in the series before winning three straight.
Lazar has 21 points in 20 games and a +11 heading into Game 6. I caught two Oil Kings games this year, the WJC and some highlights and Lazar is an excellent prospect. He wears the 'C' in Edmonton and is a good leader - stands up for teammates, comes up in the clutch and is always working either offensively or defensively. Pretty pumped to see him in a Sens jersey one day - I believe he has 50-55 point potential and obviously has a lot you like in his game. The only question would be our future top six looks to be Turris - Zibanejad at C. The bottom six has Pageau and Smith who are both young. He might have to play wing to get into the top six.
