The Chicago Blackhawks have officially Re-signed Defensiveman Cam Barker to a Three-year deal. Recently, the Blackhawks were put under investigation by the NHL and NHLPA in regards to offers wrongfully being sent to players after the deadline. Cam Barker and Kris Versteeg were specifically pointed out in the investigation. Luckily, the Blackhawks were able to sign Barker, but the future of Versteeg still remains a mystery that will hopefully be resolved soon. Versteeg is the last of the Blackhawk's seven restricted free agents.
Last season, Barker was ranked 3rd amongst the Blackhawks defenders. He had six goals and 34 assists, giving him a total of 40 points for the season. For defensive players, he tied for 26th place for Overall Points. In the playoffs, he added three more goals and six more assists.
