Toews, Kane & Keith sign multi year contract extentions
By admin on Dec 03, 2009 with Comments 3
On Thursday the Chicago Blackhawks reported that they managed to sign their two corner stone forwards and star defenceman with contract extentions. Forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane (both 21 years old) aggreed to five-year contracts worth about $6.3 million (US) per season, and Duncan Keith (26 years old) signed a 13-year deal worth $72 million (USd).
The signing of these contract extentions help ensure the Blackhawks fans are going to have a team worth cheering for the next decade, or more. The down side is that Chicago has a large number of players who will have cap hits over US$3-million next season incuding Hossa, Sharp, Kane, Bolland, Versteeg, Byfuglien, Keith, Huet, Campbell and Seabrook. So after this season, the Hawks will need to rid themselves of a few big-ticket players.
