The Ottawa Senators have not ruled out the possibility of loaning forward Curtis Lazar to Team Canada for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championships.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, general manager Bryan Murray said he will have a discussion with the 19-year-old Lazar in the coming weeks, and will then make a determination on the best course of action.
"Before I would do anything, I would talk to him and see his desire and then we'd talk to the coaches. But yeah, I'm open-minded. I have a great deal of respect for that junior tournament and how it helps kids," Murray said on Wednesday morning.
...
"They tell me that if he goes, he could be their captain or certainly be one of their leaders,” Murray said. “And he has that personality that he would be that. He would be a very important player on their team and maybe that's the boost that would really shoot him into the second half.”
