The Blackhawks did not qualify forward David Kampf by the Tuesday’s deadline, but the team is still talking to him about a potential new contract, reports Scott Powers of The Athletic.
Kampf, 24, was a full-time NHL starter last season, with 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) in 63 games. Evolving Hockey has projected he will receive a two-year deal with a $1,169,651 salary cap hit.
Unlike some teams, the Blackhawks do not make it publicly known which players they have qualified.
Forwards Victor Ejdsell, Brendan Perlini, John Quenneville and Dylan Sikura (2014 sixth rounder) were all qualified, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic.
