Roster Transactions: November 9, 2026

GREENSBORO, NC – The Greensboro Gargoyles, proud ECHL affiliate of the defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes and the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, announced the following roster transactions.

Forward David Gagnon and goaltender Yegor Velmakin have been recalled to the AHL by the Chicago Wolves. Additionally, defenseman Braden Doyle has been loaned to the Wolves by the Gargoyles.

Greensboro and Idaho completed a trade over the weekend, sending Gargoyles defenseman Caleb Price to Idaho for future considerations.

Forward Jaxson Murray was released from the roster over the weekend.

Gagnon started the season in Chicago, adding four games played with the Wolves. The 26-year-old from Haifax, NS played 18 games in the AHL during his rookie season last year. 

Velmakin could have the opportunity for his first AHL start. Selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NHL Draft, the 23-year-old from Movska, RUS has produced a .932 save percentage and 2.14 goals against average in his first six ECHL starts. Velmakin recorded a 2.38 goals against average and .900 save percentage over 19 games in the KHL before coming to North America.

Doyle spent 10 games with the Wolves last season, and was called up on loan twice. The 25-year-old, ECHL-contracted defenseman from Lynnfield, MA has five points (2G, 3A) in 10 games to start the 2026-27 season.

The Gargoyles finish a seven game home stand next weekend when they host the Worcester Railers on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 12, 14, and 15. Thursday is I Love Greensboro Night at 7 PM, celebrating sports, culture, and businesses in the triad. Saturday, the Gargoyles join in the Hockey Fights Cancer effort as Cone Heath presents Cancer Awareness Night at 7 PM. The home stand finishes with Sunday Funday at 3 PM.
