Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson made his first overseas signing by bringing over defenseman Filip Roos on a two-year entry-level deal.
Roos is a 6-foot-4, 190-pound blue liner who carries a left-handed shot. He's the first overseas signing under new Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson.
"Filip is a big body who possesses strong skating abilities for his size," Davidson said in a statement."That’s a combination of traits that teams across the league are always searching for. Filip played valuable minutes in Sweden’s top league this season and he will strengthen our pool of defensive prospects."
The Blackhawks now have 14 defensemen under contract for next season, but that doesn't include pending restricted free-agents Caleb Jones and Wyatt Kalynuk. Roos figures to start off in Rockford, although it may depend on how he performs in training camp.
