The Chicago Blackhawks announced today they have agreed to terms with forward Marcus Kruger on a one-year contract, which runs through the end of the 2015-16 National Hockey League season.
Kruger, 25, recorded 17 points (7G, 10A) in 81 games with the Blackhawks last season en route to the 2015 Stanley Cup championship. He added four points (2G, 2A) over 23 postseason games, including a triple-overtime tally in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final against the Anaheim Ducks. Kruger led team forwards with 180:01 of shorthanded time on ice in the regular season and ranked second with a 53.3 faceoff win percentage.
The Stockholm, Sweden, native has totaled 84 points (28G, 56A) over 287 career NHL games, all with Chicago. He was also a member of the Blackhawks’ 2013 Stanley Cup championship team. Kruger was drafted by Chicago in the fifth round (149th overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft.
No terms were made available and generalfanager.com hasn't got the figures yet, either, but I expect the deal to be around or slightly under $2mil, as it's a one-year deal with the expectation of a richer & longer deal next summer.
Okay, then, training camp.
Not sure what the umlauts are for.
