The Chicago Blackhawks signed three players when free agency opened up Sunday morning.
The first is Cam Ward, former Carolina Hurricanes’ 13-year veteran goaltender with playoff experience and more than plenty of time logged as a starter in the NHL. (Click here for a video of his career with the Hurricanes and some pretty flashy saves.) Ward’s deal is one year at $3 million.
Following him was veteran left wing Chris Kunitz, a four-time Stanley Cup champion who will be 39 before opening night. Though Kunitz’s days of 30-goal scoring seasons are over, he still looks more than capable of providing scoring in a bottom-six role with the ‘Hawks this season.
