NHL Transactions and Front Office Moves

The Chicago Blackhawks have welcomed back a familiar face, agreeing to terms on a two-year deal with forward Patrick Kane worth an average annual value of $8 million, marking his return to the team where he achieved superstardom. In other team news, the Columbus Blue Jackets have been busy securing their future, signing forward Cole Sillinger to a three-year contract worth $13.875 million to avoid arbitration Sillinger to a three-year. They also inked goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million deal that will keep him with the team through the 2028-29 season Greaves to a three-year. Meanwhile, Hockey Hall of Fame player Cammi Granato is shifting her focus within the Vancouver Canucks' front office, moving into an adviser role. Former Golden Knights coach John Tortorella expressed disappointment with the team's decision not to retain him following their Stanley Cup Final appearance, but is already looking towards his next coaching opportunity.
