Major announcement in Chicago that will hurt Hughes, Xhekaj and Guhle
The defenseman Alex Vlasic, from the Chicago Blackhawks, has just hurt Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
He has just signed a surprise contract of, hold on, 27 million dollars!
The young defenseman will effectively pocket nearly 5 million dollars per year for six years. It's huge for a young depth defenseman who hasn't proven anything yet.
Signing of Alex Vlasic: the price for Kaiden Guhle has just exploded and it's obviously bad for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens
With this announcement from Chicago, the price of Kaiden Guhle's next contract just really went up, because, with all due respect, Guhle deserves MUCH more money than Vlasic.
He is, by far, superior.
Many wonder why the Blackhawks did this, but it seems they really believe in Vlasic.
We're talking about a defenseman who is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds, who scored 16 points in 76 games this season. (45 penalty minutes)
This signing also definitely increases the price of Arber Xhekaj's next contract.
More details to follow.
