The Chicago Blackhawks traded Andre Burakovsky to the Ottawa Senators for a 6th-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft on June 26, 2026. Burakovsky's performance declined significantly, with only 4 points in his final 37 games of the season, prompting the Blackhawks to seek a trade instead of a buyout. Ottawa, coming off a recent trade of Brady Tkachuk, hopes to revitalize Burakovsky's career as they seek added offensive production. Chicago will not retain any salary on Burakovsky's contract, providing them with increased cap flexibility.
