Where Are the Now-Former Blackhawks Playing Next Year?

As free agency slowly winds to a close before the Fourth of July, some folks have asked if/where the now-former Blackhawks have signed. In my Tuesday bullets, I included the first day’s results. Here those are again:

  • Taylor Raddysh — Washington
  • Reese Johnson — Minnesota (two-way)
  • Mike Hardman — New Jersey (two-year, two-way)
  • Filip Roos — Ottawa (two-way)
  • Luke Philp — Washington (two-way)
  • On Tuesday, two more now-former Blackhawks got deals done.

    Colin Blackwell is headed to Dallas. He got a one-year NHL deal. Good for him. He was a solid guy in the room and a terrific teammate. I wish him the best.

    And MacKenzie Entwistle got a one-year, two-way deal with the defending Stanley Cup champions in Florida. Again: good guy, great to talk to, worked his ass off. Wish him the best.

    The remaining former Blackhawks without contracts:

  • Tyler Johnson
  • Jaxson Stauber
  • Jarred Tinordi
  • Jaycob Megna
  • Rem Pitlick
  • Michal Teply
  • David Gust
  • Nikita Zaitsev has signed to return to Russia.
