Blackhawks Sign Khabibulin

Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 7m One happy #Blackhawks player will be winger Patrick Kane. He's a good friend of new (old) goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin.

I like this move. We dont need a very good goaltender, just one who can play with our defense.

At least Ranatta has no expectations for the NHL club, barring injury.

yeah i agree 110%. I am not a fan of that salary

While it was probably a little much in terms of salary, it is still moveable if need be. Could be worse. Give the kid some time to acclimate to the US, and possibly see what he has in the second half.

From my understanding of the Bonus salary Khabby gets 5k per game he plays.
