Madden likes his chances for the Cup in Chicago

Madden, who is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and former Selke Trophy winner (awarded to the league’s best defensive forward), turned down multiple offers for more money and more years from other teams to sign a one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Hawks. He did it for one reason.

“For how good the hockey team is and I really believe it has a chance to win the Stanley Cup,” Madden, 36, said Thursday. “With the addition of Hossa and the experience last year, it’s a group with a lot of skill and talent and hungry kids who want the Cup. They have all the elements of making a run at it for this year and years to come. I had no problem giving up security for a chance to win.”
