A move which had been circulating on Twitter circles for about a week was confirmed by the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday morning, when the team announced that it had signed forward Buddy Robinson to a one-year, two-way contract worth $750,000.
Robinson, who’ll turn 31 on Aug. 30, has played in 53 NHL games across five seasons, although 32 of those games came last season with the Anaheim Ducks, when Robinson scored one goal with assists and average 9:15 of ice time per game.
Robinson entered the NHL in 2013 as an undrafted free agent signing by the Ottawa Senators and made his NHL debut during the 2015-16 season with those same Senators.
