The Chicago Blackhawks have made a significant signing, securing forward Brett Seney on a one-year, two-way contract that runs through the 2023-24 season. Seney, who has been a standout player for the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate, is set to earn a cap hit of $775,000. Seney has shown that he can keep up with the Blackhawks' top line as well, and filled in for Patrick Kane when he was with the Blackhawks but injured.
Seney has been a key player for the Rockford IceHogs, the Blackhawks' AHL team, where he has tallied up 48 points in 50 games played this season. His impressive performance earned him a call-up to the Blackhawks earlier this year, where he scored one goal in four games played.
With his new contract in hand, Seney will have the opportunity to continue his development at the AHL level while also being a potential call-up option for the Blackhawks as they navigate the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.
Overall, the signing of Brett Seney is a positive move for the Blackhawks, as they look to build a strong foundation of young talent for the future. With his impressive play in the AHL, Seney has proven that he has the potential to be a valuable asset to the organization moving forward.
