Tyler YaremchukHOST
I'm assuming we're going to get a retirement announcement.
Liam HorrobinHOST
It says a lot that guys like Rico, Curtis Lazar, just didn't get contracts.
Liam HorrobinHOST
Yeah.
Liam HorrobinHOST
And they were playing playoff games.
AustinHOST
Adam Henrique is still an unrestricted free agent.
AustinHOST
And Curtis Lazar signed in Switzerland.
AustinHOST
coaching staff who is in Mike Babcock is the head coach of Edmonton obviously I talked extensively about this hiring when it happened and as time has passed my views on Mike Babcock have changed pretty significantly I think it's important that as a fan Whether you liked the hiring at the time or not, we're allowed to grow and we're allowed to, you know, evolve our views of things, especially once you start to see how they interact with the media, how the team looks on the ice with that head coach.
AustinHOST
And it is night and day difference compared to how the team played under Chris Knobloch as they do with Mike Babcock.
Jason GregorHOST
The Edmonton Oilers, last year, you would have had to use...
Jason GregorHOST
Trent Frederick, Adam Henrik, Curtis Lazar, David Tomasic, Max Jones, Josh Szymanski, Isaac Howard, Noah Philp, Jason Dickinson, Matthias Janmark.
Jason GregorHOST
They scored 25 goals in 355 games.
Jason GregorHOST
And I'm just so tired of this whole, oh, McDavid's got to play last, and automatically the guys are going to play better.

Zach LaingGUEST
And it seems to be something that the Oilers are really prioritizing, um, in all of their forward lineups.
Zach LaingGUEST
And then you look back to last season, you know, guys like Adam Henry, Curtis Lazar, who were filling in some of those depth roles, um, definitely didn't have the boots that some of these guys got right now for the Oilers in the bottom six.
Zach LaingGUEST
So I think that's gonna be something really interesting to kind of follow and watch a- and learn more about, uh, Babcock's style of play.
Brandon DouglasHOST
Zach Lang from, uh, DFO Edmonton and Daily Faceoff guesting with us here on The Frenzy on Sports 1440.
Zach LaingGUEST

TrevHOST
Okay.
Dustin NielsenHOST
Curtis Lazar took 291 faceoffs at 61.2%.
Joaquin GageHOST
Hmm.
Dustin NielsenHOST
Rostlovic even took 268 faceoffs at 53%.
Nick ZararisHOST
The other big one I have is Colton Dock.
Nick ZararisHOST
Now, I thought Curtis Lazar did a really solid job as the fourth line center.
Nick ZararisHOST
His underlying numbers were decent.
Nick ZararisHOST
He was good on face-offs.
Nick ZararisHOST
He actually, on Friday last week, signed a deal to play over in Switzerland for this upcoming hockey season.
Nick ZararisHOST
I much would have preferred the Oilers bring Curtis Lazar back to sign Alex Formington, but we'll talk about Formington in a minute.
Nick ZararisHOST
Colin Dox, a four-checking menace.
Nick ZararisHOST
Whether or not he can stay healthy is probably the biggest question.
Jason StrudwickGUEST
They brought in Joseph, who's also a fast guy.
Jason StrudwickGUEST
So you swap out Henrik and Curtis Lazar for Farmington and Joseph, you get a lot faster.
Jason StrudwickGUEST
And that was obviously something they wanted to address.
Jason StrudwickGUEST
Darnell Nurse, a long time moiler, moved out.
Jason StrudwickHOST
They looked fast and they were physical.
Jason StrudwickHOST
So, um, you know, when you kind of look at that, what that bottom line looked like with, with a Henrique or a, uh, Lazar last year, um, significant upgrade in speed for sure in the first exhibition game is what I saw.
Jason StrudwickHOST
Shocker.
Jason StrudwickHOST
What was, what was your big thing?
13 MINS LATER
Jason StrudwickHOST
Um, really smart.
Jason StrudwickHOST
You know, at the end of his career, didn't quite have the same wheels.
Jason StrudwickHOST
Curtis Lazar, um, not as big, not the same wheels.
Jason StrudwickHOST
Um, not the same edge maybe a- as you go.
