The Chicago Blackhawks have signed centre Robert Lang to a two-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The 36-year-old appeared in 81 games for the Detroit Red Wings in 2006-07, collecting 19 goals, 52 points and 66 penalty minutes in his second full season in Motown.

''Robert gives us another offensive weapon at the center position,'' said general manager Dale Tallon. ''He is a right hand shot who will be able to help us on our power play. He has played with Martin Havlat in International competition and they have a very good chemistry together. He definitely gives us more strength up the middle.''

Chicago really needs to look for some new ownership, this is a great hockey city with a long hockey history, it is just looking for the right investor to get things moving. However there is a lot of talent here with Kane, Toews, Havlat, Barker, and Khabibulan this team has at least the potential here with Lang to have a couple competitive lines and in the future should be able to win a few more games. Hopefully Handzus can be re-signed also, but for some reason I thought he was signed somewheres else already, I can't recall, but if he is that is good too, lol.
