Paille signed a professional tryout contract with the Blackhawks on Sunday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paille attracted limited interest after scoring only six goals and 13 points in 71 games as a fourth-line player on the Bruins last season. He'll audition for a similar role on the Blackhawks' energy line during training camp, but with several options on hand for the club, cracking the 23-man roster may prove difficult.
