Laurent Brossoit - Heading to Windy City Brossoit signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Blackhawks on Monday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Brossoit had a 15-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season contests with Winnipeg in 2023-24. He'll likely serve as the backup goaltender behind Petr Mrazek, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Brossoit play significantly more in Chicago than he did in Winnipeg. Meanwhile, Arvid Soderblom, who logged 32 games with the Blackhawks last season, will probably begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Craig Smith - Signs one-year deal Smith signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Blackhawks on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Smith recorded 11 goals, 20 points, 33 PIM, 51 hits and 30 blocks in 75 regular-season games with the Stars in 2023-24. The 34-year-old should serve primarily on the fourth line with Chicago.

Teuvo Teravainen - Returns to where it started Teravainen signed a three-year, $16.2 million contract with the Blackhawks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Monday.

Impact Chicago took Teravainen with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, and he logged his first 115 NHL contests with the Blackhawks, but Chicago dealt him to Carolina in the summer of 2016. Teravainen went onto become a solid top-six forward with the Hurricanes, surpassing the 60-point milestone on four occasions and supplying 25 goals and 53 points in 76 regular-season contests last season. Now back with Chicago, Teravainen is likely to audition for a spot on the top line alongside Connor Bedard, though the 29-year-old veteran will have to compete with Taylor Hall, who is recovering from a torn ACL, and Tyler Bertuzzi for that coveted assignment.

Alec Martinez - Going to Windy City Martinez signed a one-year, $4 million contract with Chicago on Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Martinez compiled four goals, 17 points, 72 shots on net and 165 blocked shots in 55 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24. He can log over 19 minutes per game but will likely serve as a veteran depth defender for the Blackhawks in 2024-25.

Blackhawks agree to contracts with Bertuzzi and Teravainen on busy opening day of NHL free agency

Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen agreed to contracts with Chicago on Monday, providing a major offensive lift for the rebuilding Blackhawks on the first day of NHL free agency

JULY 1 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tyler Bertuzzi - Secures four-year deal Bertuzzi agreed to terms on a four-year, $22 million contract with Chicago on Monday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact Bertuzzi was reportedly interested in staying with the Leafs but the club was priced out by this deal from the Blackhawks. The 29-year-old Ontario native is coming off a bounce-back 2023-24 campaign which saw him get back over the 20-goals and 40-point thresholds. Bertuzzi figures to slot into a top-six role for Chicago and could even push to play with Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard on the top line. That assignment would certainly bolster Bertuzzi's fantasy outlook heading into next season.

Reese Johnson - Heading to free agency Johnson (concussion) will become an unrestricted free agent Monday after not receiving a qualifying offer from Chicago.

Impact Johnson was limited to five points in 42 games last season and missed the final 16 games due to a concussion. The 25-year-old has 17 points in 141 career NHL contests.

Filip Roos - Set for free agency Roos did not receive a qualifying offer from Chicago and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Joey Anderson - Not tendered qualifying offer Anderson didn't receive a qualifying offer from Chicago on Sunday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic, so he will become an unrestricted free agent.

MacKenzie Entwistle - Set to become UFA Entwistle is not expected to receive a qualifying offer from the Blackhawks on Sunday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact As a result, Entwistle will become an unrestricted free agent. He supplied five goals, 11 points, 66 shots on net and 139 hits in 67 contests with Chicago during the 2023-24 campaign.

Impact Raddysh dropped from 20 goals and 37 points in 78 games during the 2022-23 campaign to five goals and nine assists across 73 appearances this past season. Perhaps a change of scenery will do the 26-year-old forward some good.
