Today, the Chicago Blackhawks signed Dylan Sikura, their top prospect, to a two-year, entry-level contract. The ‘Hawks are going to burn one of the years on his ELC by having him play in the last five games of this regular season.
Sikura had 54 points in 60 games at Northeastern this season and projects as a top-six NHL forward. While many speculated Sikura could opt for free agency, he was true to his word and signed with the Blackhawks. Sikura is expected to play on Thursday night in Winnipeg.
The ‘Hawks are also recalled another prospect in Victor Ejdsell on an emergency basis.
