Report: Blackhawks, Rundblad agree to terminate contract
by from on (#1NHBM)
The Chicago Blackhawks are reportedly unchained from their financial commitment to defenseman David Rundblad.
Rundblad and the Blackhawks mutually agreed to terminate his contract and he'll no longer impact the club's payroll, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times.
He was placed on waivers July 1, and the Blackhawks were expected to buy out the final year of his contract, valued at a shade over $1 million.
Chicago aided its starving defense this summer with the addition of Brian Campbell, who sprung for a return to the franchise on a reduced salary.
