Taking a look at two of Canada’s top prospects Max Domi and Curtis Lazar.

 

This week we’re going to take a look at another pair of Canadian teammates, Max Domi and captain Curtis Lazar. A pair of forwards who have a long history of success.

 

Max of course has the pedigree in his veins from father Tie; tough guy Maple Leaf legend who skated in 1020 NHL games, and amassed over 3500 PIM’s.  

 

Lazar, helped lead the dominant Edmonton Oil King to their first ever title last season and consistently finish atop the standings.

 

Not only are the two gunning for gold together, but Domi has played in every Memorial Cup since beginning his CHL career, and Lazar scored the historic triple-OT game winner last year in the semi’s, before winning it all in the finals.

Drafted: Phoenix (Arizona) Coyotes 2013 – 1st round, 12th overall

 

 

Not only will the numbers be there, he will be a fan favorite whose style of play allows him to make an impact in a variety of ways whether it be flashy dangles, blocking a shot, or stirring it up. The Coyotes have long been in need for a player like this, specifically one who has the pedigree to pull it off in the desert, and Domi will be their man.
