The Chicago Blackhawks announced today they have agreed to terms with forward Jordin Tootoo on a one-year contract.

 

Tootoo, 33, has played the last two seasons with the New Jersey Devils where he scored four goals and notched five assists in 66 games during the 2015-16 campaign. Over his 12-year NHL career, Tootoo has tallied 158 points (63G, 95A) in 673 career games. The forward made his NHL debut in 2003 with Nashville where he played for eight seasons. He later skated for Detroit (2012-14).

 

The Churchill, Manitoba native has appeared in 40 Stanley Cup Playoffs games, netting three goals and recording seven assists. Tootoo was originally selected in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 2001 NHL Draft by Nashville.

While I'm trying to avoid the PC ideas (I've been working hard on it, LaBamba!), I have to wonder if Jordin has any umbrage with Chicago's emblem.

 

Personally, I think it's totally fine, as Blackhawk was a very famous leader of the Sauk nation in the Midwest US, who was born in Rock Island, Illinois.

Previously disliked Tootoo when he was in Nashville, but met him this morning in Kelowna at the doctors getting our daughters immunizationshots. Very nice guy, told me he signed in Chicago and I wished him luck.

Better question, who cares?

 

You live in Vancouver don't you?
