Impact Lazar was already ruled out for four weeks, so this move doesn't impact his return timeline. It does free up the cap space the Oilers needed to accommodate their acquisitions of Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach in Wednesday's trade with the Oilers. Lazar shouldn't be expected back until early April, and if his recovery stalls out, he may be held out until the playoffs.
