Blackhawks sign Richard Panik to 2-year extension
by from on (#2P3Q5)
Blackhawks forward Richard Panik has been rewarded for a career year, earning a two-year contract extension, the club announced Thursday. The deal is reportedly worth $2.8 million per year, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Panik shattered his previous career highs in both goals (11) and assists (10) with 22 apiece. He was given a glorious opportunity to skate alongside Jonathan Toews on the team's top line for most of the season, and he didn't disappoint.
The 26-year-old will look to build off his breakout season in 2017-18.
