The Blackhawks locked up that potential on Wednesday, as the team and Vlasic agreed to a six-year contract extension with a $4.6 million cap hit, a league source said. Vlasic’s contract will expire after the 2029-30 season.
Vlasic, who grew up in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Ill., signed the first long-term contract of Kyle Davidson’s tenure as Blackhawks general manager, becoming the first young player to be secured in Davidson’s rebuild puzzle.

Thanks for sharing u/DuaLipasAssCheeks. So stoked for the Hawks future. Vlasic has been my favorite Hawk other than Bedard.

Solid contract for both sides I think, happy about the long term. Obviously deals for hometown guys can be easier, but this should help quell some concerns about Davidson’s negotiations now that we’re getting to contracts which matter.

KFC’s first important contract negs look like they went well.

I fucking love this deal. Is $4.6 a little high after just a year in the league? Probably. Would he cost way more in 2 years if Kyle offered him a bridge deal? Almost definitely. This is the kind of deal that all allows you to keep the playoff window open, instead of Bowman’s deals where he overpaid for past performance.

Hey not bad. I think he could be a solid piece on a good Hawks team so good to see that locked in now.

Great term & AAV I think. Figured he’d want a 2 year deal then cash in big when he’s full blown elite
JamesTiberiusCrunk
Great move. He’s been incredible this year and in a couple years this is going to look like a massive discount.
archasaurus
This is an incredibly team friendly deal considering how well he played in his first full season. Future A calling it now.

Worth it. Guys a stud

Nice! Kid was a very pleasant surprise this past season, glad to see him locked up on a cap hit that seems pretty darn favorable.

The CHGO guys thought he’d be in the $6mil a year range and easily worth the contract by year 2.
Awesome deal for the Hawks

I’ve been thinking about picking up a home Vlasic jersey before Fanatics takes over but was just waiting to see about an extension. Right on man, let’s do this.

Yes now I know who my WC jersey is going to be. So stoked!
dangshnizzle
Wow. That’s like 2m under what he should probably be getting for term
Which offsets the Jones overpay lol

Up off the glass is worth ~$5m in today’s NHL. Excellent signing!!!
JebusChristo
Huge signing. Sure there is some risk given a limited number of games, but we have the flexibility and if this pays off it sets us up nicely for quite some time.

what a fuckin steal of a contract

I love this deal. Now we just need Korchinski to take the next step.

GREAT move. Mr. Pickle has been my favorite player on the team next to Bedard. Time to buy his jersey.

Locked up for 6 years at $4.6m is a bargain. Good shit, Kyle from Chicago

I’m excited for this deal!

Hell yeah dude
NeverheardofAkro
So excited for this!! Love that we are locking in young defensive talent.
GreenEyedBandit
Wow, I love this deal. If we gave him a bridge I think we’d be paying 7.5-8.5 for year 3-6 of this contract.
Kudos to Kyle from Chicago
swagner27
Might buy his jersey now. Team friendly deal too. Great signing.

Amazing deal for a huge piece of the future puzzle. This makes me love Vlasic even more now.
