The Chicago Blackhawks have signed forward John Hayden to a two-year contract extension worth $750,000 through the the 2019-2020 season, the team announced early Friday morning.
John Hayden will have a $750,000 cap hit on his two-year extension. It is a one-way deal, so he'll make the same if he's in the AHL.
