Blackhawks agree to terms with F Carpenter

The Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a three-year contract with forward Ryan Carpenter on Monday. The team said the deal averages $1 million per season, making it worth $3 million.

Carpenter scored a career-best 18 points (five goals, 13 assists) in 68 games with the Vegas Golden Knights last season. The 28-year-old has 37 points (16 goals, 21 assists) in 132 games over parts of four seasons with the San Jose Sharks and Golden Knights.

"It's my first time going through free agency besides being a college free agent," Carpenter said during a conference call. "It just seems to all happen so quick. I talked to Chicago on the first day and was super excited and super impressed."
