Marty Turco signs with the Blackhawks

While the Chicago Blackhawks continue to dismantle a team that won the Stanley Cup this past season, they also have managed to add players to replace the ones that have left. On Monday, the Blackhawks added Goalie Marty Turco to the team. The 34 year old Turco has played 10 seasons in the NHL, all for the Dallas Stars. He has never won the Stanley Cup, but has consistently been one of the top goalies in the league, year in and year out.

In the last two seasons, Turco had the highest Goals Against Average he has had in his entire career (2.72 and 2.81). However, last season he had a save percentage of .913 which is better then the Blackhawks former Goaltender Antti Niemi. Turco will only be paid $1.3 Million this season to play in Chicago, which is about $3.7 million less than he received last season in Dallas. According to sources, Turco turned down several multi-year deals with other teams for the chance at the Stanley Cup with Chicago.
