Solid contract, look at players like John Marino, Mikey Anderson, Mattias Samuelsson, etc who've signed this type of deal, Chicago has all the cap space and once they start competing getting Vlasic at 4.6 will be huge

I love everything about this deal. He was already playing like a $5m+ dman this season.

Signing a Vlasic to a long term deal with a Western Conference team has surely never gone wrong in the past

But good job Chicago

this is a good contract, especially as the cap goes up. 4.5-5 is where an average LD is signed for currently. You might say CHI over paid a bit because he's a RFA and should be at a slight discount, but they got 6 years.

Woah this was a surprise to me, but a very good one! Very happy for him and the Hawks. He's a #1 LD in the NHL today after what was essentially his rookie year and that's extremely hard to find for 6 years $4.6M.

I honestly never thought his AAV would go over $5.75M. But all the chatter was getting me worried that CHI would make too large of a bet and possibly make Vlasic an "unwanted contract" down the road. I think that, at this AAV, CHI fans shouldn't have anything to complain about over the next 6 seasons, when it comes to Vlasic.

I respectfully disagree with everyone saying this is a good contract. He's played less than 100 games. 6 years @4.5M is crazy risky.
What was the rush to sign him long-term???? Sorry but this guy is a 3rd pairing dman. Hate the risk to this.

At 100 games played dmen are still developing. We'll see.

I mean, look at players like John Marino, Mikey Anderson, Rasmus Andersson, Jakob Chychrun, Brett Pesce, Mattias Samuelsson, etc all have gotten this type of deal and excelled, Nikita Zaitsev is about the only player who has gotten this type of contract and not done well. Vlasic had a really good year and Chicago has all the cap space in the world, when they'll be competing, they'll be glad to have a solid top 4D under 5mil

You do realize that he played the #1LD role the entire season and ended with playing 25 min a game and had the highest DPS on the team including veterans like Seth Jones and Connor Murphy. They eye test proved it too. Went up against the hardest opponent's night in night out and he played well.

Let's rephrase this from the MTL perspective. How pissed off were you when Caufield got his contract? He had what...120 games under his belt vs 97. They're both 2019 draftees. Being a defensive Dman is effort based, where scoring can be hit or miss. $4.6M per when the cap is increasing the way it will be is amazing.

He already has some of the best defensive numbers out of all the dmen in the league. So not sure what about that screams '3rd Pair'.....
