Blackhawks Add Jamal Mayers
The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with forward Jamal Mayers (MAy-uhrz) on a one-year contract.

Mayers, 36, registered three goals, 11 assists and a +3 plus/minus rating in 78 regular-season games with the San Jose Sharks during the 2010-11 campaign, and skated in 12 Stanley Cup Playoffs contests. He also accrued 124 penalty minutes which paced the club during the season, and ranked fourth among team forwards with 105 hits.

Originally selected by the St. Louis Blues in the third round (89th overall) of the 1993 National Hockey League Entry Draft, Mayers has recorded 202 points (84 G, 118A) and 1,093 penalty minutes in 815 career regular-season games over parts of 13 NHL seasons with St. Louis (1996-2008), Toronto Maple Leafs (2008-10), Calgary Flames (2010) and San Jose (2010-11). The Toronto native is also a veteran of 60 career Stanley Cup Playoffs contests, notching 13 points (5G, 8A) and 32 penalty minutes.

I was secretly hoping Detroit would put him on the 4th line... oh well. Good for Jamal, glad he found a team.

For a team that desperately needs some toughness he wouldn't have been near the top of my list as who's out there but it's a start. for 550, why not?

I really enjoyed Mayers while he was in Toronto. He works hard every shift, hits, blocks shots, and will fight for himself and his teammates. He's aged, but won't hurt playing on the 4th line and doing some penalty kill.

Hopefully him and Scott will play a few games on the same line.

Looks like Wild-Chi game might finally not be 100% boring.

Good move to add some much needed grit to the Blackhawks. Should be able to help Scott and Dowell with the fighting as well as provide a veteran prescence in the line-up.

The Hawks are really cornering the market on aging MW's.

Good to see the Hawks add someone after losing Brouwer and Dowell.
