Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times: Trade deadline acquisition Riley Stillman signed a three-year contract extension over the weekend. Stillman would have been an RFA this offseaon. He said he wanted the negotiations out of the way so he could focus on improving and integrating with the Blackhawks.
The odds of the Blackhawks trading pending RFA Nikita Zadorov this offseason have increased as both bring a similar style. Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman was listening to trade offers on Zadorov at the trade deadline but was looking for more than teams were offering.
