Tyler Kopff News: Acquired in trade

Published on July 13, 2026

Washington acquired Kopff from Buffalo on Monday in exchange for Zac Funk.

Kopff had one goal, five points and 23 PIM across 30 regular-season games for AHL Rochester in 2025-26. He also picked up two goals and four assists in 10 appearances for ECHL Jacksonville during the 2025-26 regular season. The 23-year-old forward hasn't made his NHL debut yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.
