Cogliano celebrated a Stanley Cup victory with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, so he won't enter retirement empty handed.
There was just something about when he took the Cup from EJ, took a second to turn and face the guys, and then raises it up while they go crazy for him. Another great moment in a series of great Cup winning moments
