Brian Campbell says he wants to return to Blackhawks if he doesn’t retire

Veteran defenseman Brian Campbell doesn’t know what his plans are for next season, but it sounds like the options are a return to the Blackhawks or retirement from the NHL. Campbell said he doesn’t “want to go anywhere” if he chooses to return for an 18th season.

Set to turn 38 years old in May, Campbell will likely sit down with the Blackhawks soon to discuss his future as a hockey player. It’s unclear whether both sides plan on having him back, but based on his comments Saturday, it sounds like Campbell will hang up the skates if he doesn’t agree to a new deal with Chicago.
