OTTAWA, ON – FEBRUARY 6: Curtis Lazar #27 of the Ottawa Senators acknowledges the fans as he steps on the ice after being named first star of the game following an NHL game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Canadian Tire Centre on February 6, 2016 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Jana Chytilova/Freestyle Photography/Getty Images)

Admittedly, it’s pretty easy to be down on Curtis Lazar.

Since arriving on the NHL scene as a 19-year old, the young forward has struggled to assert himself at the NHL level. The blend of offensive skill, intangibles and grit that turned Lazar into the 17th overall draft selection in 2013 has not translated into strong performance since he turned pro.

In fact, in his first three seasons in the league, he’s not only been one of the least productive NHL forwards relative to his ice time, he’s now been held pointless through 21 games this season.

In each of his seasons, there have been excuses along the way. In his first year, he was just a rookie who played conservatively in depth role. Sure, that style helped limit mistakes and earned the praise of his coaches, but it didn’t grow or allow Lazar to develop confidence in his skills either.

In his sophomore year, Lazar’s performance was blamed on the fact that his spot in the lineup was always in a state of flux. It’s not that he was at risk of ever being benched, but thanks to the injuries, Lazar always seemed to be the guy who was moved around the lineup to fill whatever vacancy in the top six or top nine opened up.

In his mind, the inconsistent roles and inconsistent linemates created an identity crisis which contributed to his ineffectiveness.

This season was supposed to be different, but mononucleosis derailed his training camp and Lazar missed the entire preseason. Rather than start the season in the NHL, Lazar was optioned to Binghamton where he played in their first 13 games scoring three goals and adding an assist.

The numbers alone never warranted a promotion, but thanks to the general shittiness of the Binghamton roster, when the Senators were beset by injuries, they turned to a familiar face in Lazar.

Lazar’s struggles have been omnipresent throughout his 164 games as a pro, but because he has failed to register just one point in his 21 games played this season, the media have picked up on his struggles. They previously would have been swept under the rug or chalked to development, but coupled with the likelihood that Lazar will be left unprotected in this summer’s expansion draft, his future with the Senators has never felt less certain.

Due to these struggles and the fact that he’s already into his third season with Ottawa, it was assumed that his inherent trade value would be proportionate to his performance, but when TSN‘s Frank Seravelli published his list of the ‘Top 20 players potentially available’ before the March 1st NHL Trade Deadline, I was shocked to see Lazar be ranked 12th in the listing.

Now, this simply could be a stunning reflection of how barren the NHL trade market has become thanks to the congestion in the standings, but then you see Lazar be mentioned ahead of players like Ben Bishop, Marc-Andre Fleury, James van Riemsdyk and Alex Burrows and you can’t help but wonder if there are enough general managers out there who will overlook Lazar’s recent history to trade something of value to Ottawa because of what he accomplished in junior hockey.

I love the NHL.

LGHL Ohio State is still an offseason winner despite losses to the NFL

Ohio State is still an offseason winner despite losses to the NFL
Ian Cuevas
via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


usa_today_9786428.0.jpg

Though some key members have moved on, the Buckeyes still return a talented team.

“When it comes to selling elite recruits on the chance to be developed into draft picks, few staffs have as much evidence to work with as Ohio State’s right now.”

- Austin Ward, ESPN


Even with the losses to the NFL for Ohio State, including players such as Malik Hooker, Marshon Lattimore, Curtis Samuel, and Noah Brown will certainly sting, but the offseason can still be considered a success for the Buckeyes. After all, they return quarterback J.T. Barrett, back for his senior season. And they also get to bring back Billy Price, who will likely shift over to center, as well as key defensive linemen Tyquan Lewis, Sam Hubbard, and Jalyn Holmes.

Add in Jamarco Jones coming back and tight end Marcus Baugh, and the team still holds much of its shape from the team that the College Football Playoff saw in 2016-17. The 31-0 loss to Clemson in the national semifinal game looked to have stung just enough to help bring these players back for another run at a championship.

And an important aspect of these losses is they were mostly from the same position groups. Hooker, Lattimore, and Gareon Conley all exit from the defensive backs, which the Buckeyes should be able to shore up on considering recent commitments and players still on the roster (including Damon Webb). Samuel and Brown left a bevy of talent behind them as well, with plenty of candidates perhaps ready and up to the task of replacing the two offensive players at H-back and wide receiver.

“[Big Ten underclassmen that could leave early in 2018] Jerome Baker, Sam Hubbard, Dre’Mont Jones, Mike Weber”

- Jesse Temple, ESPN


With the topic of players leaving early for the NFL draft, Ohio State survived its latest annual departures from stars including stars in the secondary and on the offensive side of the ball. But it’s never too early to take a peek at who could declare for the draft after the 2017 season and which candidates seem most likely. Jesse Temple of ESPN broke down the most likely players to do just that in the Big Ten, and four Buckeyes made the list. Of the four mentioned, defensive end Sam Hubbard seems the most obvious choice, given that he could have left after this season and chose to stay another year. The defensive terror did an excellent job the past two seasons of wreaking havoc on quarterbacks across the league and he’ll likely head for the professional level after next season.

Mike Weber was also included, which may seem like a surprise at first but as the article mentions, when you consider the professional lifespan of a running back in the NFL, it makes much more sense that if the rising redshirt sophomore has another great year he could head for greener pastures. Jerome Baker had his breakout year this past season with the Buckeyes in part due to an injury to Dante Booker, who was supposed to be the starting linebacker. Dre’Mont Jones quietly finished with 47 tackles as a redshirt freshman in 2016 and will likely play a larger role next season, so it’s not impossible to see him leaving early either.

“Unsurprisingly, Ezekiel Elliott was named the PFWA Rookie of the Year, as well as the Offensive Rookie of the Year. His college teammate, Joey Bosa, was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year.”

- Harry Lyles Jr., SB Nation


Former Ohio State standouts Ezekiel Elliott and Joey Bosa haven’t stopped producing at a high level in the NFL, either. Their extremely successful college careers have transitioned beautifully into the professional stage as Elliott was named the Pro Football Writers Association Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year, while Bosa took the Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Elliott had a monster rookie season, posting 1,631 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 322 carries. The former Buckeye running back was just recently knocked out of the playoffs by Green Bay, but still performed well in the game.

Bosa, meanwhile, missed the Chargers’ first four games but quickly made up ground on the rest of the league finishing the year with 10.5 sacks. The mark put him among the best in the NFL. Both also made the PFWA All-Rookie team, along with former Buckeye offensive tackle Taylor Decker.

Your excuse to tailgate in mid-April is officially here.

Ohio State made official their spring game’s date and time Tuesday.

Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes will look to rebuild their secondary (again) and retool a listless offense under new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson with spring practices starting March 7 building to the annual Scarlet & Gray game, Saturday, April 15. The time has not officially been set but a noon or 1 p.m. kick would certainly make a lot of sense.

This looks to be the first time there won’t be an Ohio State men’s lacrosse game against a big time opponent as the undercard to the main event that is the spring game. The lax Bucks will be in Ann Arbor taking on Michigan that Saturday.

Tickets in the past have been around $5 (or $10 at the gate) with 100% of proceeds going to charity.

usa_today_9679187.0.jpg

The Buckeyes will be replacing a lot of folks in the secondary next year. Here’s how it all might shake out.

While the Buckeyes return quite a few options on offense, they’ll have to replace multiple contributors on defense this year, especially in the secondary, which will be full of new faces.

An awful lot can change between now and opening day, but here’s an early stab at what the defensive two-deep might look like for next year.

Defensive End


Sam Hubbard (RS Junior)

Jalyn Holmes (Senior)

Who starts along the defensive line is a little bit of an academic question, since the Buckeyes will use a deep rotation of linemen to keep everybody fresh. It’s probable that many more players, including some of the highly recruited youngsters, will find time, but given the proven, established production from Hubbard and Holmes, you have to figure they keep their spots.

Defensive Tackle


Dre’Mont Jones (RS Sophomore)

Jashon Cornell (RS Sophomore)

Jones wasn’t expected to step into this role to start the season, but the Buckeyes had to get creative when Tracy Sprinkle went down for a season-ending injury. All Jones did was become a Freshman All-American. His upside, at a position where Ohio State needs is, is tremendous.

We’re stepping out on a limb a little bit for Cornell, given that he’s been injured and hasn’t had a chance to produce, but he was a mega-recruit, and the potential is all there if he’s healthy. If not, look for Davon Hamilton, or true freshman Haskell Garrett, to step up here.

Defensive Tackle


Tracy Sprinkle (RS Senior)

Michael Hill (RS Senior) OR Robert Landers (RS Sophomore)

This is a tricky spot. Sprinkle earned the job to start last season, but missed almost the entire campaign after a season-ending injury early in the year. Hill was effective, if not flashy, in spots, and Landers really emerged as a possible playmaker, despite being undersized, during the season. Any of these three is capable of grabbing the top spot on the depth chart, but we’ll guess Sprinkle gets the first crack at defending his old job. Everybody should play, though.

Defensive End


Tyquan Lewis (RS Senior)

Nick Bosa (Sophomore)

The Buckeyes truly have an embarrassment of riches at this position. Lewis was your Big Ten Lineman of the Year in 2016, and the sack leader, and he returns for another season to pad the stat sheet. Former five-star uber-recruit Nick Bosa, who flashed numerous times during his freshman year, should get additional shine this season, as it will be increasingly difficult to keep him off the field. And if either of them falter, the Buckeyes have plenty of options, like sophomore Jonathan Cooper, or true freshman and five-star Chase Young.

Weak-side Linebacker


Jerome Baker (Junior)

Keandre Jones (Sophomore)

Baker grabbed onto this job after Dante Booker struggled with injuries in 2016, and never let go, establishing himself as an athletic and dangerous playmaker. The Buckeyes have plenty of backup options, with star recruit Jones potentially emerging from the pack.

Middle Linebacker


Dante Booker (Senior)

Justin Hilliard (RS Sophomore)

Booker was slated to start last season at WLB, but was injured and gave way to Baker. He’s one of the fastest guys on the team, and should be an experienced, productive option if he’s healthy. If he’s not, the Buckeyes could turn to another former elite recruit, Justin Hilliard.

Strong-side Linebacker


Chris Worley (RS Senior)

Baron Browning (Freshman)

Worley returns after a strong season to man the SLB position. Jones, Nick Conner, a former Spring Game star, and true freshman and five-star Baron Browning will fight for the backup role here.

Cornerback


Kendall Sheffield (Junior)

Damon Arnette (RS Sophomore)

The Buckeyes will badly need experience in their defensive backfield, which is why they went and picked up Sheffield, a JUCO player and former Alabama commit. JUCO players aren’t recruited unless the coaching staff thinks they can contribute right away, and Sheffield should be able to provide some stability while Ohio State’s highly touted young defensive backs can season a bit. Arnette, who was strong on special teams earlier, should be a capable backup, but if not, there are plenty of freshmen.

Cornerback


Denzel Ward (Junior)

Jeffrey Okudah (Freshman)

Ward will need to make a big jump from nickelback who was occasionally exposed to perhaps their lockdown corner, but Buckeye defensive backs have made big jumps over an offseason before. Ohio State has some non-freshman options here, like Joshua Norwood, but Okudah, one of the very best recruits in the entire country, is probably too good to redshirt.

Safety


Damon Webb (Senior)

Jordan Fuller (Sophomore)

Webb was picked on occasionally last season, in part because defenses were afraid to throw at virtually anybody else, but with a new year, with a new supporting cast, he could be more effective. And he’s certainly a very capable tackler. He’ll likely be spelled by Jordan Fuller, but there are other young options here too.

Safety


Erick Smith (Senior)

Isaiah Pryor (Freshman)

Smith’s career has been slowed by injures, but now the heralded recruit should be healthy, and read to step into a role where he’ll be badly needed. True freshman Isaiah Pryor could be in the mix at backup, along with sophomore Jahsen Wint.
