The Chicago Blackhawks have made another roster move, acquiring forward Andre Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken.<\/p>\n

In exchange, the Blackhawks sent forward Joe Veleno to Seattle on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In 79 games with Seattle last season, Burakovsky had 10 goals and 27 assists for the Kraken. Since making his NHL debut with the Washington Capitals during the 2014-15 season, he has netted 153 goals and dished out 234 assist in 696 career games.<\/p>\n

Acquired from the Detroit Red Wings before the 2025 NHL trade deadline, Veleno registered three goals and four assists with the Blackhawks in 18 games.<\/p>\n

Burakovsky is entering the fourth year of a five-year deal he signed with the Kraken prior to the 2022-23 season. His salary cap hit clocks in at $5.5 million, according to Puckpedia.<\/a> His salary is highest among the Blackhawks\u2019 forward group, matching Tyler Bertuzzi\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n

As things stand, the Blackhawks have approximately $22.5 million in salary cap space for the 2025-26 season prior to the start of free agency at the beginning of July.<\/p>\n

The Blackhawks have been busy so far this offseason, acquiring Ryan Mast from the Boston Bruins in a June 13 trade. They also signed forward Ryan Donato to a four-year contract extension on Wednesday, and waived defenseman TJ Brodie, with an eye toward buying out his contract.<\/a><\/p>\n

The last move will cost the Blackhawks $3.233 million in cap space for the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Blackhawks have made another roster move, acquiring forward Andre Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken.
