The Chicago Blackhawks sign 21-year-old Czech forward from HC Plzen Matej Chalupa to a two-year contract with a $925,000 AAV.
Aside from a player with an awesome beard primed for a playoff appearance and the last name coming straight from the Taco Bell menu, what are the Chicago Blackhawks hoping to get with Matej Chalupa? Matej is a former teammate of Blackhawks rookie star Dominik Kubalik, dating back to their time with HC Plzen out of the Czech league in 2017-18. With that said, it is likely the Blackhawks have done their homework on Chalupa.
