Blackhawks agree to deals with prospects
- On Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks signed forward Oliver Moore and defenseman Sam Rinzel, two of their top prospects, to entry-level contracts.
- The Blackhawks, currently in last place, hope these additions will aid their painful rebuilding process.
- The contracts for both Moore and Rinzel extend through the 2026-27 season and carry a $950,000 salary cap hit each.
- Moore, a speedy 20-year-old forward and No. 19 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, recorded 21 goals and 45 assists in 76 games at Minnesota and helped the U.S. Win consecutive gold medals at the world junior championship.
- Rinzel, also 20 and a Minnesota native, was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year after scoring 10 goals in 39 games for the Gophers this season, and he played on the 2024 U.S. Team that won the junior tournament; both players might make their NHL debut as soon as Sunday in a home game against Utah.
