Blackhawks: Patient Marcus Kruger finally arrives in Chicago

Marcus Kruger had to wait a little longer to get back to Chicago. He couldn’t obtain a visa until he signed his latest contract, a one-year deal he inked earlier this month.

So being patient was important, right?

“Yeah, I think I already got some practice there,” Kruger said with a smile on Saturday night. “So it was OK to wait that extra week.”

Indeed, Kruger had to be a very patient man this offseason, as he waited for the Blackhawks to figure out their salary-cap issues to make room for his new contract. He finally got that deal on Sept.
