Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Alex Vlasic (6 Years / $4,600,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

Not to mention put up more points than Korchinski who is supposed to be the offensive Dman. That comparison is not apples to apples but Vlasic improved on the offensive side as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Maybe package Lee and Pageau together to the Hawks? I'd be very much interested in trying to acquire that 2024 1st of yours. Not suggesting a straight up Future Considerations, but maybe dropping back in the draft for taking on $12M in cap space for 2 years?

Hawks need high picks more than they need 2nds. I'd do this Hawks trade above too! Just having a conversation and thinking out of the box.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>I like exo's idea above. But the Hawks would probably take Lee for the two 2nd's as well. Tampa Bay declines though. The GM loves Tanner J. Wahlstrom is an inferior substitute for him as well.</div></div>

I would consider it but would probably want to keep one of them. Would also rather hold on to the 2024 1st because we haven’t had a first round pick since 2018 I believe
