Jamal Mayers was re-signed by the Blackhawks late yesterday, according to @RenLavoieRDS:

There was some doubt about Mayers being re-signed after being benched for the Blackhawks’ last three playoff games, but we can put those to rest now.

Even though he’s not getting any younger (he’ll be 38 this year, which is at least 68 in hockey years), he’s a solid guy. You know that he’ll always have his teammates’ back out on the ice, and he’s a player the younger guys can certainly learn from. And hey — the Blackhawks signed him for cheap.

Let’s just hope that a lockout doesn’t ruin it for him and everybody else.
