Blackhawks Extend Drew Commesso’s Contract for Two Years

Drew Commesso has signed a two-year contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks after opting not to file for arbitration, with a cap hit of $875 million. The first year features a two-way deal with earnings of $800K in the NHL and $200K in the AHL, while the second year is a one-way deal worth $900K. This bridge deal allows Commesso to develop further, likely positioning him as Spencer Knight’s backup in the 2027-28 season. He showcased potential last season with a .918 save percentage in three NHL games, but will need more experience before assuming a starting role.
