The Blackhawks have accepted an arbitrator's decision to award winger Kyle Calder a salary of $2.95 million for the upcoming season.

General Manager Dale Tallon had 48 hours to decline last Friday's decision, which would have made Calder an unrestricted free agent. The Hawks allowed that 48 hour window to pass and are currently finalizing a contract with Calder for this season.

Calder led the Blackhawks last year in goals, assists and points (26-33=59).

Vorobiev Returns To Russia

July 26, 2006

Pavel Vorobiev has signed with Khimik Mytischy to play in Russia this season, a decision the Blackhawks' hope will help the skilled winger regain his scoring touch.

"We’re not giving up on him," Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon told chicagoblackhawks.com. "We feel he has a good future. He just has to get back his confidence offensively. This will be a good opportunity for him."

The Blackhawks retain Vorobiev's rights for three more years.

The Blackhawks' second choice (11th overall) in the 2000 Entry Draft, Vorobiev scored six goals in the first 13 games last season but tallied just three in the 26 games following his hot start. In 32 games for Norfolk, Vorobiev recorded nine goals and 16 assists.

Skille To Return To Wisconsin: 2005 1st round pick Jack Skille announced this week that he will return to the University of Wisconsin for his sophomore season. "Jack had an excellent prospect camp last month in Chicago," said Blackhawks director of hockey operations Stan Bowman. "He has progressed as we hoped he would when we drafted him. The Wisconsin program had a great season and we are happy with his improvement over the course of the season. He is not far from being ready to play professionally and we are comfortable with him returning to Wisconsin for another season." Skille, 19, told the Wisconsin State Journal this week that he wants to turn pro "when it's 100 percent, when I feel like I'm absolutely ready to make the jump." Skille was one of the standout players at the Blackhawks' recent Prospects Camp. He'll figure to be one of the go-to guys this season for the Badgers, who are coming off a national championship.

laut NHLPA ist Jim Vandermeer 06/07 für $1,225,000 unter Vertrag....kommt also zu keiner Verhandlung

[Gast]

Radim Vrbata bekommt einen weiteren 2-Jahres Vertrag..

[Gast]

Finde es klasse das Bourque bleibt... Er wird einen großen Sprung machen...

Auch die Verpflichtung von Havlat und Smolinski begrüße ich doch sehr..: Havlat war immer schon einer meiner Favorites in der Liga.. Und auch mit Lalime haben wir einen guten Griff getan, mehr als solider Backup... Bullin Wall wird es dieses Jahr allen zeigen, da bin ich mir sicher

Calder-Gomez??? Naja damit könnte ich leben, wäre zumindest keine Verschlechterung..

[Gast]

Die Blackhwaks ahben mit 3 wichtigen,jungen leistungsträgern der letzten Saison verlängert.Stürmer Michale Holmqvist erhielt einen 1-Jahresvertrag im Wert von 625 000$.Stürmer Rene Bourque bleibt weitere 2 jahre und verdient 750 000$,Verteidiger Duncan keith wird in den näcshten 4 Jahren je 1 Million verdienen.

Holmqvist hat nen 1 Jahres Vertrag unterschrieben. Calder will nur für 1 Jahr unterschreiben, die Zeichen stehn wohl auf Abschied
