The Chicago Blackhawks signed a pair of restricted free agents to new contracts on Friday morning, agreeing to terms on one-year deals with defenseman Caleb Jones and Philipp Kurashev.
Jones’ deal is worth $1,350,000 while Kurashev’s contract is for $750,000.
Jones, who turned 25 in June, came to the Blackhawks in a July 12, 2021 trade with the Edmonton Oilers that sent Duncan Keith out of town and reunited Jones with his brother, Seth, on Chicago’s blue line. In 51 games last season, Caleb Jones had 15 points (5 G, 10 A) in 51 games while averaging 16:43 of ice time.
