Here's what Lindy Ruff said about acquiring him:
"If you look at a guy like that, real good depth for us. Strong player. Guy that can step into the middle and win draws. Right-handed face-off guy, can play the wing, penalty killer. It really adds to the depth. Every team is going to deal with injuries. Right now we're doing really good but it's important to have players like that who can help you out."
Devils also have Chris Taylor as an assistant coach and he worked with Lazar in Buffalo so there's some familiarity there.
