'We are excited to bring Kris back to Chicago and are pleased to add a player with his experience and versatility to our lineup' said Vice President and General Manager Stan Bowman in a press release. 'Kris is well respected within our organization and will be able to make a seamless transition to our team because of his familiarity with many of our players and with Coach Quenneville. This move strengthens our team depth and Kris' skill is a great complement to our current roster.'
