Free agent forwards Max Domi and Andreas Athanasiou signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on identical one-year, $3 million deals, it was announced Wednesday.
Chicago has holes to fill up front after trading forward Alex DeBrincat to Ottawa last week and not extending qualifying offers to Dylan Strome or Dominik Kubalik.
Domi is joining his fifth team in five years. He was traded from Columbus to Carolina midway through last season and was a physical presence in the Hurricanes' top nine. Domi also had an impactful postseason, with three goals and six points in 14 games.
