BREAKING: Chicago Blackhawks Reach Official Agreement With Petr Mrazek

According to ESPN's Kevin Weekes, both sides have agreed in principle, and an official announcement about Mrazek's contract extension is expected in the next day or two.

This move suggests the team isn't confident in their goalie prospect Arvid Soderblom. At 31, Mrazek is in the last year of his $3.8 million contract, joining the Blackhawks from the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2022.
