Brian Campbell is officially back.
Initially signed to a mega-deal by the Chicago Blackhawks back in 2008, Campbell could only play out the first three years of his eight-year deal with Chicago. It worked out alright; he was able to help bring a Stanley Cup back to Chicago, after all! But then he became a casualty of the cap, and ended up playing out the rest of his deal in Florida.
But now, he’s back. And for the second time in a row in becoming an unrestricted free agent, Campbell chose Chicago.
He skated as a home player at the United Center for the first time in years last night.
