Moreover, they have lost two consecutive games recently and are in danger of finishing the season with the wooden spoon. Nonetheless, they have already started preparing for the next season and made a couple of massive moves recently, which gave a glimmer of hope to the Blackhawks’ fans.

Hours ago, the social media handle of the Blackhawks announced that they have signed two exciting young prospects, Oliver Moore and Sam Rinzel. Both players have agreed to the terms and will join the team immediately. The duo signed a lucrative 3-year deal with a cap hit of $950,000.

The two players will soon begin their pro NHL careers after grinding it out in the NCAA. Additionally, it was also speculated that Rinzel and Moore will feature sometime toward the latter part of the season. With the Chicago Blackhawks sealing the deal well in time, fans are excited about what these two youngsters would bring to the Blackhawks’ roster in the coming seasons.
