The Chicago Blackhawks have signed London, ON native Rob Flick to a 3-year contract. Any further terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Flick was drafted in the 4th round, 120th overall in the 2010 draft by the Blackhawks.
He played 3 seasons in the OHL for the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, accumulating 99 points and 393 penalty minutes in 181 games.
He then spent this past season between the Rockford Hogs of the AHL, where he amassed 13 points and 91 penalty minutes in 45 games and the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL, where he recorded 10 points and 43 penalty minutes in 17 games played.
Although he has yet to suit up in an NHL game, he played for the Blackhawks' rookie tournament a few years ago in London where I went out and saw him, and he looked pretty good.
Signing Rating: B. While it is hard to rate the deal without the full terms disclosed, it is good for the Blackhawks to sign the 21-year old so he can continue to develop his 6'2", 208 pound frame into a gritty forward.
Also, fun fact, my dad plays pickup hockey with Flick's dad. Small world.
