Andre Burakovsky News: Headed to Windy City

Chicago acquired Burakovsky from the Kraken on Saturday in exchange for Joe Veleno, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Burakovsky has two years remaining on his contract, which carries a $5.5 million cap hit. After battling injuries and missing 66 combined games in 2022-23 and 2023-24, the 30-year-old enjoyed a relatively healthy season in 2024-25, playing 79 games while producing 10 goals and 27 assists. He'll hope to bring similar health to a Chicago team that could use some veteran help on the wing. He'll likely be in the mix for a middle-six role in the 2025-26 campaign.
