David Kampf agrees to two-year extension with Blackhawks

Share

One day after GM Stan Bowman expressed confidence that an extension is coming for David Kampf, the Blackhawks made it official on Monday that the two sides have agreed to terms on a two-year deal that carries a cap hit of $1 million.

Kampf was not given a qualifying offer by the Blackhawks, which made him an unrestricted free agent and free to sign with any team on Monday. But there was never any concern that an extension wouldn't get done. The Blackhawks likely did not tender him an offer because of his arbitration eligibility.

Kampf registered 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) in 63 games for the Blackhawks last season. He played an important role on the bottom-six and penalty kill last season, and is expected to do so again this season.

With the Kampf extension and Ryan Carpenter signing, the Blackhawks have 10 forwards signed and 20 roster spots filled, giving the team a projected $6.036 million in cap space, according to Cap Friendly.
