COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 14 – Anton Frondell, the third overall pick, signed a three-year entry-level contract with a $975,000 cap hit after helping Sweden win silver at the 2025 IIHF World U18 Championship.
- On Tuesday, the Chicago Blackhawks inked 18-year-old Swedish forward Anton Frondell to his first NHL contract spanning three years.
