The team announced the move on Monday. The contract is worth $750,000.

Nylander has 84 games of NHL experience between the Blackhawks and Buffalo Sabres with 13 goals and 19 assists.
Buffalo drafted him 8th overall in 2016.
He is the son of former NHL center Michael Nylander and his brother William is a forward for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
