Tucker Poolman was traded to the Colorado Avalanche as part of a deal that brought Erik Brannstrom to the Canucks. The team will retain 20% of his salary, as Poolman is in the final year of a four-year, $10 million contract. He has not played since October 2022 due to migraines and neurological issues related to concussions, and general manager Patrik Allvin indicated that Poolman is not expected to play in the 2024-25 season. Over his career, Poolman has appeared in 163 games, recording 23 points.
