The former Canadian has agreed with the Chicago Blackhawks on the terms of a one-year contract for three million dollars.

Domi therefore joins a fourth team in less than 24 months, following the Canadiens, the Blue Jackets and the Hurricanes.

The son of Tie Domi had 39 points (11 goals, 28 assists) in 72 games last season. He was limited to 13 min 2 s per game on average.

In Chicago, Domi shouldn’t be short of playing time, joining a club that just let go of forwards Alex DeBrincat, Dominik Kubalik and Dylan Strome.

Kulak does not move

Brett Kulak has found his niche in Edmonton. The former defender of the Canadiens has agreed with the Oilers for a 4-year contract, worth 2.75 million annually, according to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff.

Traded at the trade deadline on March 21, Kulak played 18 games with the Oilers in the regular season, before playing 16 more in three rounds of the playoffs.

This is his third team in the NHL, having played for the Flames from 2014 to 2018. Calgary drafted him in the fourth round at the 2012 auction.

The center player has agreed with the New York Rangers on a seven-year contract, once more according to Frank Seravalli.

Arthur Staple of The Athletic says Trocheck’s contract with Rangers is $5.6 million a year.

In 2021-22 with the Hurricanes, Trocheck scored 21 goals and had 51 points in 81 games. He stood out in the playoffs by finding the back of the net 6 times and scoring 10 points in 14 games.

The American forward, drafted in the third round in 2011 by the Panthers, was traded to the Hurricanes in February 2020.

He has 150 goals and 378 points in 555 NHL games.

Contract extension for Thomas

In St. Louis, Robert Thomas goes to the bank. The striker has signed an 8-year contract extension, good for 65 million dollars (annual average of 8125 million).

Thomas, choice of 1is tour of the Blues in 2017, exploded last season with a collection of 77 points (20 goals, 57 assists) in 72 games. However, he had a quieter series with 6 points in 12 outings.

Rather, Andrew Copp does the opposite. He left Madison Square Garden to join the Detroit Red Wings.

The Ann Arbor, Michigan-born forward joins his hometown team on a five-year deal worth $5.6 million a year.

He had 21 goals and 53 points with the Rangers and Jets in 2021-22.
