Senators’ Asking Price for Lazar is Comically High
T6S via our good friends at Buckeye Battle Cry

OTTAWA, ON – FEBRUARY 11: Curtis Lazar #27 of the Ottawa Senators skates against the Colorado Avalanche during an NHL game at Canadian Tire Centre on February 11, 2016 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Jana Chytilova/Freestyle Photography/Getty Images)
During tonight’s Blues versus Senators broadcast on TSN5, Bruce Garrioch appeared in his regular first intermission ‘Question Period’ segment alongside Brent Wallace where he was asked about Curtis Lazar’s situation.
With Lazar sitting out tonight’s game as a healthy scratch, reports suggest that teams are kicking tires to see what Ottawa’s looking to do with the former top-50 NHL prospect.
According to Garrioch, the Senators are listening to offers, but the asking price is high (transcription via Paul aka @Sens_Army_).
“We’re talking about a first or second round pick and I’m not even sure they want that because they’ve invested so much in him. I think they want to give him the opportunity to have success here.”
Well, it looks like the Senators are back to negotiating deals through the media, but I guess you can’t really blame Pierre Dorion for trying to fleece his counterparts.
If true, it’s an outlandish ask by the Senators for a prospect who has failed to demonstrate that he be an efficient NHL regular. Lazar’s underlying numbers not only portray a player who has failed to make those around him better, his production is among the NHL’s worst when it relative ice time is taken into consideration.
To put things into perspective, the New York Islanders flipped a third rounder to the Senators at last year’s deadline for Shane Prince, a second round pick. Similarly, the St. Louis Blues acquired 2012 first overall pick Nail Yakupov this past summer for a conditional draft pick. The Oilers acquired a third round pick with the condition that it would become a second round pick if Yakupov winds up scoring more than 15 goals this season. (Note: he won’t.)
It seems like a third round pick is the precedent, but Lazar’s a good, ol’ Canadian lad who has the kind of pedigree, character and intangibles that teams overpay for. Maybe there exists a blend of scouts, coaches or general managers out there who think they’re brilliant enough to get exponentially more from Lazar than Ottawa has, but I have a hard time believing that some team is going to fork over a first or second round pick for a flunking prospect.
If anything, it sounds like Ottawa’s aiming high and will have their bluff called.
There’s no way the organization can afford protect Lazar going into the expansion draft and as a result, they’ll be looking to get something of value for him. If he’s not helping the Senators on the ice, he’s the kind of player that the Senators should be looking to use to bolster their playoff run. Since the likelihood of them getting a high draft pick for him is low, maybe they can find a non-playoff team that is looking to dump a rental or a player who they’ll be unable to protect for the expansion draft.
It may not be the glamorous first or second rounder that Garrioch referenced, but at least Lazar could be used to make the roster better. If he can’t provide value on the ice, at least there’s still a chance that he can provide some value off of it.

LGHL Ohio State’s Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore projected in 1st round of NFL mock draft

Ohio State’s Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore projected in 1st round of NFL mock draft
Ian Cuevas via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The two stars of the Buckeyes’ secondary are rated highly across the board heading into the NFL.
“7. Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State. 12. Cleveland Browns (via Philadelphia Eagles): Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State”
- Dan Kadar, SB Nation
There are a limitless amount of mock drafts already out for the 2017 NFL draft, and rightly so with the draft only a couple of months away. The latest version from SB Nation is high on Ohio State and its players in the pool (as are countless others). And for good reason. Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore combined to terrorize opposing quarterbacks all season long as they helped anchor one of the best secondaries in the country. In this specific mock draft, Dan Kadar has Hooker being taken seventh overall to the Chargers (reuniting with former Buckeye Joey Bosa) and Lattimore being taken 12th to the Cleveland Browns.
That was just the first round, though. A handful of Buckeyes were taken in the second round including Raekwon McMillan (34th overall, to the San Fransisco 49ers), Gareon Conley (37th overall, to the Los Angeles Rams), and Pat Elflein (55th overall, to the New York Giants). Curtis Samuel rounded things out in the third round, taken 81st overall by the Washington Redskins. All together, it should be yet another successful draft class for Ohio State and its players.
“[Big Ten running back rankings] Runners-up: Ohio State and Minnesota”
- Austin Ward, ESPN
The folks over at ESPN are going through each position group and ranking the best of the best from the Big Ten conference. For running back, it was no surprise to see Penn State and Northwestern at the top. With Saquon Barkley and Justin Jackson returning for the Nittany Lions and Wildcats, respectively, they should continue to have major success as the season rolls around. The two rushers were the most productive in the Big Ten last season, so they’ve certainly earned their right to the top spots. As for Ohio State, they come up in the runners up category, along with Minnesota.
Mike Weber became just the third freshman in Ohio State history to rush for over 1,000 yards and did so with somewhat of a bum shoulder for the latter part of the season. With Curtis Samuel gone, it should open the door for a new playmaker in the backfield alongside Weber, and Demario McCall might have his eye on taking on some increased responsibilities within the offense.
“[Big Ten wide receiver/tight end rankings] Teams that need to step it up: Ohio State and Iowa”
- Brian Bennett, ESPN
While Ohio State certainly ranked highly in the running backs category (and for good reason), the Buckeyes fall way short when it comes to wide receivers and tight ends. Taking the top spot was again Penn State, with only one of their talented wide receivers heading to the NFL and tight end Mike Gesicki returning. Ohio State, however, fell in the lowest category for this position ranking, but when a team that struggled to find receivers deep last season loses its top three receiving threats to the NFL draft (Noah Brown, Curtis Samuel, and Dontre Wilson) you have to be at least a little worried. It was well noted during National Signing Day this year that the Buckeyes had been looking to lock in bigger bodies at the receiver position and we’ll see if it pays off.
In the meantime, players like Binjimen Victor, K.J. Hill, and Terry McLaurin all showed plenty of potential last season in short bursts. Now they’ll need to step up in a big way if the Buckeyes are going to be successful in the passing game. Also look for names like Alex Mack, who was raved about all offseason in 2016, to step up once the season starts for Ohio State. By the time the opener against Indiana rolls around, the Buckeyes will need to be ready.

Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes’ 2018 recruiting class is off to a BOOM!
Urban Meyer and the Ohio State football team hasn’t missed a beat in the effort of making next year’s recruiting class just as strong as this year’s historic haul. The efforts were shown on Monday when they sent an offer to 2018 defensive back Kyler McMichael (Norcross, GA / Greater Atlanta Christian School) the same day as the team earned a commitment from four-star DB Jaiden Woodbey (Upland, CA / St. John Bosco.)
Very blessed to say I received an offer from The Ohio State University!!
#Osu #Buckeyes pic.twitter.com/5nWIBMtdY6
— Kyler J. McMichael (@kylermc22) February 6, 2017
McMichael has an impressive offer list already, ranging from Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State and Florida. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder is currently viewed as the No. 41 CB, according to 247Sports, and is the No. 194 overall player in the class. After an impressive junior season, these numbers could rise if he continues to improve in his final season of high school football.
For better or worse, Ohio State has developed a trend of sending multiple DBs to the NFL Draft early, and if the trend continues, the position will always be one of importance. While the Gators are being looked at as the early favorite, there is still plenty of time in the recruiting process for the coaching staff to make repeated contact with McMichael—and sell the Georgia prospect on becoming a Buckeye. Expect Meyer and OSU to get McMichael on campus sometime in the next year for a visit.
The Buckeyes have been able to secure two verbal commits on the offensive side of the ball for 2018 in five-star quarterback Emory Jones, another Georgia native, and four-star running back Brian Snead out of Florida. Along with the aforementioned Woodbey, the Buckeyes are off to a booming start in 2018.
Quick Hit:

BOOOOOOM!!!
One week to the day after signing the second overall 2017 recruiting class in the country, Ohio State is off and running trying to lock down top tier 2018 talent to come to Columbus.
After recently making the trek to the Ohio State University for the Buckeyes junior day, four-star safety Jaiden Woodbey announced on Twitter that he, like his one-time St. John Bosco (CA) teammate and OSU signee Wyatt Davis, will suit up for Urban Meyer and crew on the next level.
Throughout the recruiting process, Woodbey, one of the most sought after prospects in the entire class of 2018, earned around 20 full ride scholarship offers from some of the best to play on Saturday afternoons. Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Washington, and USC, a program where he holds family ties, were among the programs to pursue the 6’2 205 defensive back from Upland, CA.
Alongside Davis, and the rest of his St. John Bosco teammates, Woodbey helped the Braves to an overall record of 13-2. Coming up big all season, he finished his junior year off with 70 total tackles and four interceptions.
The third ranked safety, and 32nd overall prospect in the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports Composite, Woodbey gives Meyer and the Buckeyes three verbal commits at the moment.

BOOOOOOM!!!
One week to the day after signing the second overall 2017 recruiting class in the country, Ohio State is off and running trying to lock down top tier 2018 talent to come to Columbus.
After recently making the trek to the Ohio State University for the Buckeyes junior day, four-star safety Jaiden Woodbey announced on Twitter that he, like his one-time St. John Bosco (CA) teammate and OSU signee Wyatt Davis, will suit up for Urban Meyer and crew on the next level.
Throughout the recruiting process, Woodbey, one of the most sought after prospects in the entire class of 2018, earned around 20 full ride scholarship offers from some of the best to play on Saturday afternoons. Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Washington, and USC, a program where he holds family ties, were among the programs to pursue the 6’2 205 defensive back from Upland, CA.
