Mackenzie Entwistle a signé un contrat de 2 ans d'une valeur de 1 600 000 $ avec les Blackhawks de Chicago, le 18 août 2021. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 800 000 $.
The hawks are setting themselves up with some cheap contracts when the cap crunch comes in next season. Both Entwistle and Hardman are likely to play primarily in the AHL this season, but after this season they both could play on the hawks 4th line for near league minimum.
