The Chicago Blackhawks agree to terms with goaltender prospect Drew Commesso on a two-year contract extension, beginning in the current NHL free agency period. Multiple reports describe the deal as a two-way agreement, meaning Commesso can move between the NHL and minor-league rosters depending on team needs and roster status.
Commesso, 23, is characterized as a goalie prospect by the reporting outlets. The extension is framed as part of the Blackhawks’ broader offseason activity as they look to reshape their roster and address performance expectations for upcoming seasons, including the 2026–27 window mentioned in free-agency coverage.
The reports do not provide additional details such as specific salary figures, performance incentives, or whether the contract guarantees NHL playing time. Overall, the consistent point across sources is that Chicago keeps Commesso under contract for two more years and does so on a two-way basis.
