Alex Vlasic

23-Year-Old DefensemanD
Chicago Blackhawks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Outside of Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard, Vlasic was probably the most pleasant surprise for the Blackhawks a season ago. He came out of seemingly nowhere to earn first-pairing defensive minutes for the club, posting two goals, 16 points, 56 hits and 148 blocks in 76 games. Clearly impressed with his contributions, Chicago handed Vlasic a new six-year, $27.6 million contract extension in April. Vlasic doesn't contribute much with the man advantage, meaning his fantasy value is next to nil, but the 23-year-old Illinois native is going to help the Blackhawks win hockey games over the next several years.

$Signed a six-year, $27.6 million contract with the Blackhawks in April of 2024.
Two apples Sunday
DChicago Blackhawks
December 15, 2024
Vlasic produced two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Vlasic helped out on Taylor Hall's marker in the first period, and he added a secondary assist on the power play in the middle frame. In addition, Vlasic logged two shots on goal, two blocks, three hits and a plus-3 rating in a team-high 23:56 to round out a fruitful fantasy performance. The left-shot blueliner has been a key contributor for the Hawks in December with two goals and five helpers through eight games -- Vlasic had just nine helpers through the first two months of the campaign. The 23-year-old is leading Chicago's defensemen in scoring with two goals and 16 points through 31 contests.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Vlasic signed his entry-level deal with the Blackhawks upon the completion of his third year at Boston University last spring. He ended up playing in 15 games for the club down the stretch, managing one goal and one assist. Vlasic didn't appear overwhelmed in his brief NHL stint, although he averaged just 14:19 worth of ice time per game. He should be a regular for Chicago in 2022-23 in a bottom-four role, albeit one that is unlikely to provide any fantasy value. Vlasic will play the entirety of this upcoming season at age 21.
