Tsyplakov will join his third NHL organzation in the last 10 months after it was announced Tuesday that he had been traded to Calgary alongside Simon Nemec from New Jersey for a 2026 2nd round pick (NYR), a 2027 1st round pick (VGK), a 2028 1st round pick (COL) (both top 10 protected) and Etienne Morin.
