As free agency went along this summer, with each passing day, it was surprising that former Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk remained a free agent. He had what was one of his best, of not the best, season of his career on a number of levels in 2024-25.
As we got closer to training camps beginning, you knew it wouldn't be long before a team took a chance on him and sign him to a PTO and that came on Tuesday. The Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a PTO with Grzelcyk, bringing in the veteran blueliner to a young team looking to take the next step in 2025-26.
