The Blackhawks signed free agent defenseman Wyatt Kalynuk (KAL-nihk) and center/left wing Pius Suter (PEE-uhs SOO-tuhr) to two- and one-year contracts, respectively, Thursday. Both contracts carry a $925,000 salary cap hit and start for the 2020-21 season.
Chicago also officially finalized a three-year, entry-level contract for their top defenseman prospect Ian Mitchell. The contract will start next season and have a $925,000 cap hit.
Kalynuk finds a home
Kalynuk, who was selected in the seventh round in 2017 by the Flyers, became a free agent after Philadelphia did not sign him after he decided to forgo his senior season at Wisconsin.
