Everyone figured Dominik Kubalik would get a contract extension, but as the weeks went on, fans began to doubt whether or not the Chicago Blackhawks would get him under contract. Fear no more.
The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that they have extended Dominik Kubalik on a two-year contract extension worth 3.7 million a year. Obviously, the Blackhawks are happy with Kubalik’s rookie season, where he put up 30 goals, but that did not mean the team wanted to commit long term.
Chicago now has Kubalik on a bridge contract for the next two years.
