Grabs one-year deal Cotter agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.15 million contract with Vancouver on Wednesday.

Impact Cotter missed the 20-point mark last year for the first time since his 2022-23 rookie campaign, which may have factored into New Jersey's decision not to give him a qualifying offer. Even with a change of scenery, the 26-year-old center is unlikely to be anything more than a bottom-six forward who helps kill penalties. He'll add some value in formats that utilize hits, but is otherwise a relative non-factor.

No qualifying offer Cotter didn't get a qualifying offer from New Jersey on Monday.

Impact Cotter will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday. He had nine goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net and 192 hits across 79 regular-season appearances for the Devils in 2025-26.

Buries goal in Thursday's loss Cotter scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Cotter has been a regular for the Devils for most of the season, but he's been in the bottom six, leaving him prone to long slumps. His goal Thursday ended a 10-game dry spell. He's at nine goals, 15 points, 57 shots on net, 188 hits and a minus-21 rating over 76 appearances. Barring a burst of offense to close out the campaign, it'll be his worst full-length NHL campaign to date.

OT hero in two-goal night Cotter scored two goals, one the overtime winner, in Monday's 4-3 victory over the Bruins.

Impact The 26-year-old produced his first multi-goal performance in over a calendar year, converting a slick feed from Maxim Tsyplakov early in the third period before beating Joonas Korpisalo on a breakaway with just seven seconds left in OT. Cotter also dished three hits in the game, and that's his more usual contribution in the box score -- through 64 games this season he sits just outside the top 20 in the NHL with 171 hits, adding eight goals, 13 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-17 rating while mainly skating in a bottom-six role.
