Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk Agrees to a 1-Year Contract with the Chicago Blackhawks
Matt Grzelcyk earned a one-year, $1 million contract after a strong preseason with the rebuilding Blackhawks following a career-high 40-point season.
- On Sunday, the Chicago Blackhawks signed defenseman Matt Grzelcyk to a one-year, $1 million contract after a professional tryout in camp.
- After limited offseason offers, Grzelcyk accepted a professional tryout with Chicago and earned a deal through three preseason appearances.
- A season ago, he posted 40 points in 82 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins and averaged 20:37 of ice time per game.
- With Grzelcyk now in the fold, the Blackhawks bolstered their defense, adding to six likely blue-liners including Alex Vlasic and Connor Murphy, after three preseason games.
- Announced Sunday ahead of the season openers, the move underscores patience with developing defensemen after Kevin Korchinski, Nolan Allan and Ethan Del Mastro failed to secure roster roles.
