Kane and Toews received identical 5 year contracts reportedly worth $31.5 million($6.3 million a season). Keith received a 13 year contract worth a total of $72 million(@5.54 million a season).
It’s finally a reality. The Hawks are on their way of preserving their young talent. These signings have ensured that their 3 best, young players, might I even say franchise players, will be in a Hawks uniform for at least 5 more years.
“I’m so happy to be a part of this team. It’s great to be a part of it & know I’m going to be a Blackhawk for the rest of my career, said  Keith after hearing the news.”
“I’m happy to know I’ll be in this city for a while longer, and hopefully even longer than that, said Toews.”
The Hawks, who are already having a great season, are sitting 2nd on the Western Conference. Their next game is Friday night in Chicago at 7:30pm cst.
