BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed forward Curtis Lazar to a one-year contract with an AAV of $700,000.
Lazar (6'0", 205 lbs., 2/2/1995) has spent the last two full seasons as a member of Calgary's organization after the Flames acquired him from the Ottawa Senators in March 2017. In parts of five seasons for the Flames and Senators, Lazar has recorded 51 points (15+36) in 246 career NHL games.
