The Chicago Blackhawks have inked one of their top prospects, albeit with a tinge of uncertainty.
University of Denver defenseman Ian Mitchell has agreed to a three-year contract with the club. However, the start date and average annual value of the pact haven't yet been determined due to the postponement of the NHL season.
Mitchell had a memorable junior season for the Pioneers, racking up 32 points in 36 games and garnering numerous accolades.
The Blackhawks drafted the 21-year-old with the 57th overall pick in 2017.
