Brendan Perlini will be back in Chicago for the 2019-2020 season. The 23-year-old has signed a one-year deal worth $874,125, which was his qualifying offer value. He will be a restricted free agent once again at the end of next season.
Perlini was acquired by the Blackhawks, along with Dylan Strome, from the Coyotes in exchange for Nick Schmaltz in November of 2018. He played a total of 66 games last season, split between Chicago and Arizona, scoring 14 goals and adding seven assists. The forward has a total of 72 points (45 goals, 27 assists) in 199 career games.
Perlini was the Blackhawks' last remaining RFA. The team has just under $2.5 million left in cap space now.
