The Blackhawks are bringing back Bob Probert for another year.
The 37-year-old left wing had one goal, three assists and 67 penalty minutes last season.
Contract terms weren’t disclosed, but his salary probably is going to be in the vicinity of the $850,000 he received in 2001-02.
The Hawks also re-signed goaltending consultant Vladislav Tretiak.
Tretiak, who ended his playing career in 1984 after leading the former Soviet Union to its third Olympic gold medal, has been the Hawks’ goaltending consultant for the past 12 years.
