Colorado received Poolman (head) and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick from Vancouver on Sunday in exchange for Erik Brannstrom.

EDGE Analysis

Poolman didn't play in 2023-24 due to migraines and won't be available for the 2024-25 campaign either. As part of the trade, the Canucks will retain 20 percent of the final season of his four-year, $10 million contract.

Poolman (head) won't play in 2024-25, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poolman will miss his second full campaign due to migraines that have occurred after multiple head injuries, mostly recently in October of 2022. He is in the final year of a four-year contract he signed in July of 2021, and at this point, it seems likely his migraines will result in the end of his career. Poolman is likely to be formally placed on long-term injured reserve for another season in the coming weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Poolman last played versus the Blue Jackets on Oct. 18, which means his placement on injured reserve won't officially rule him out beyond Monday's matchup with Carolina, though the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline.
