Year one will be a two-way deal for the 2021 season with a $700,000 NHL salary cap hit. And year two, a one-way deal for the 2021-22 season with a $750,000 NHL cap hit. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks have placed Bowey on waivers as part of the transaction, which signals that they intend to either place him on the Taxi Squad, or assign him to the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL.

Bowey, 25, has played parts of the last three seasons in the NHL with the Washington Capitals and the Detroit Red Wings. He has 39 points in 154 career NHL games, as well as 52 points in 114 career AHL games. He was also the 53rd overall draft pick in 2013 for the Washington Capitals.
