The Blackhawks re-signed restricted free agent winger Brendan Perlini to a one-year deal worth $874,125 on Friday.
Evolving Hockey projected he’d sign a two-year deal with a $2,056,017 cap hit.
Perlini scored 12 goals and 15 points in 46 games with Chicago this past season after being acquired along with Dylan Strome in exchange for Nick Schmaltz last November. The 23-year-old Perlini’s play took off once the calendar hit March when he was given an expanded role to contribute with Alex DeBrincat and Strome.
