The Chicago Blackhawks signed defenseman Gustav Forsling to a three-year contract Wednesday.
The 19-year-old registered 21 points in 48 regular-season games with Linkoping in the Swedish Hockey League this season.
Forsling was acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in a trade for blue-liner Adam Clendening in January.
He was a fifth-round pick of the Canucks in 2014.
