The Chicago Blackhawks were busy on this Friday, not only re-signing defenseman Caleb Jones, but also inking their other restricted free agent, Philipp Kurashev.

1 year contract
$750k
Kurashev will be an RFA at the expiry of the contract.https://t.co/Atwvi9449f
The 22-year-old center/winger gets a one-year deal at $750K, and will be an RFA again at the end of the season.
The native of Switzerland was a 4th round pick by Chicago in 2018.
He registered 21 points in 67 games in his 2nd NHL season this past year, in close to 13 minutes of TOI per game.
This gives the Blackhawks 14 forwards under contract for the coming season, but with an interesting twist:
With Kurashev receiving a one-year extension, the #Blackhawks have 14 forwards on their NHL roster on @CapFriendly

NONE of them is signed beyond the 2023-24 season. ZERO. NADA. Clean slate in two years, folks.
Not one of those 14 is signed beyond the 2023-24 season, as noted by Bleacher Nation Blackhawks. Depending on what happens between now and then, they could have a complete clean slate to work with two seasons from now.
