Curtis Lazar's time with the New Jersey Devils has officially come to an end. 

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that they have signed Lazar to a one-year, $775,000 contract for the 2025-26 season. 

It is not necessarily surprising to see Lazar heading elsewhere. Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald was honest following the team's early playoff exit that changes to the team's roster would be coming. Following this, Lazar was among the Devils from last season to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA), and he is now heading to Edmonton because of it. 

Lazar, 30, posted two goals, five points, 107 hits, and a minus-6 rating in 48 games this past season with the Devils. In 123 games over three seasons in New Jersey, he had nine goals, 30 points, 300 hits, and a plus-3 rating. 

Lazar will now look to earn himself a spot in the Oilers' bottom six with a strong training camp. Overall, this is a low-risk move for Edmonton, and it will be intriguing to see how much of an impact Lazar makes with the Oilers from here.
