Around the NHL: Larkin Surgery, a Wild-Devils Trade, Colgiano Retires, More

As we get closer to the 2024 NHL Draft, more moves and news is starting to bubble around the league. Here are some noteworthy items from around the league on Friday as we get set for Game Six of the Stanley Cup Final.

  • An interesting note from Detroit: Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, who pulled out of the World Championship because of an injury, had surgery to repair an upper body injury after the season. GM Steve Yzerman said on Friday that he doesn’t expect it to impact him being ready for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
  • The Columbus Blue Jackets signed 23-year-old forward Yegor Chinakhov to a two-year extension that carries a $2.1M cap hit on Friday. He scored 16 goals with 13 assists while averaging 15:10 on ice in 53 games this past season. He was the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.
  • Earlier this week the Blues announced a one-year, $1.15M deal with defenseman Scott Perunovich.
  • We had a trade in the Central Division yesterday. The New Jersey Devils sent 23-year-old RFA forward Adam Beckman to New Jersey for 23-year-old RFA forward Graeme Clarke. Clarke was originally a third-round pick by the Devils in the 2019 NHL Draft and has appeared in only three NHL games to date. Beckman, also a third-round pick in 2019, has appeared in 23 NHL games.
  • On Friday, the Colorado Avalanche announced forward Andrew Cogliano is retiring and will join team’s front office in player development and scouting. He appeared in almost 1,300 games — a terrific career.
