So says Michigan head coach Red Berenson, who revealed the 21-year-old center will sign his entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks instead of return for his senior season, according to Jason Rubinstein of Michigan Daily.

Motte was drafted 121st overall by Chicago in 2013 (fourth round), and recorded 32 goals and 24 assists in 38 games for Michigan this past season.
