Quick note here, but the Hawks have announced they have signed defenseman Alex Vlasic to a 6-year contract that will carry a cap hit of $4.6 million. Vlasic was the breakout player for the Hawks this season and made his case to be considered a top-two defender on this team.
Inital thoughts from me: this could end up being an absolute steal of a deal if he continues to develop the way he did this season and they avoid having to renegotiate a contract at the same time as Bedard, Nazar, and Korchinski.
KD makes his first move into locking in the future core of this team and I have to say he passed with flying colors on this one. The days of overpay and everyone getting NMC are over and boy does it feel great.
How are you all feeling about this deal?
