Ian Cole has found a new home and will be staying in the Western Conference for the 2024-25 season.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Ian Cole has agreed to join the Utah Hockey Club on a one-year contract worth $3.1 million.
"Ian Cole 1 x $3.1M Utah" Friedman said.
Cole, 35, is a solid veteran fit for the Utah Hockey Club next season. In 78 games for Vancouver last season, Cole had 11 points (two goals, nine assists), 61 penalty minutes and was a plus-ten. He went on to add two assists in 13 games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
With Ian Cole now locked up, Utah has gone from no defencemen signed to having Mikhail Sergachev, John Marino, Juuso Valimaki and Sean Durzi. They could be an interesting team to watch during the 2024-25 campaign.
