It was initially reported that the Blackhawks had placed Rundblad on buyout waivers. By mutually agreeing to terminate the contract, the Hawks save money during the upcoming season – and, in the case of a buyout, next year as well.
Rundblad would have hit #Blackhawks cap at $100,000 if buried (AHL/loan), or $133,333 / $183,333 cap hits in next two years if bought out.

Rundblad, 25, was originally selected by the St. Louis Blues with the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. His rights were then traded to Ottawa for a draft pick (used on Vladimir Tarasenko). Ottawa then traded Rundblad and a second round pick to Phoenix for Kyle Turris.
The Blackhawks traded a second round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft (used on Christian Dvorak) for Rundblad and Mathieu Brisebois on March 4, 2014.
SB doing a little housekeeping.
One of the Hawks defensive stalwarts from Game 7 against the Blues….. Looking back that was simply bizarre.
Lets Go Hawks!
I’m SO HAPPY !!! NO MORE Rundblad !!!
Does this make my Rundblad sweater really valuable?
YES! Because I am pretty sure you are the only one to have one.
He’s got his name on the Stanley Cup. Not too many people can say that
Here’s a fun thing.

Rundblad, Bickell. and now Rozival….more like the “Cat Came Back the very Next Day” than “So long, Farewell”
Mining Man, you hit it on the head. Hearing Rosy was signed to for translation purposes for Kempney. Make Rosy a fricken coach rather than signing him as a player if that need existed.
Not sure what Jordy is getting at…
In other news, David Rundblad fired his agent…
