The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Tuesday that they’ve signed 2019 second-round pick Alex Vlasic to an entry-level contract. It’s a three-year deal worth $824,167 annually.
Vlasic was selected in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2019 NHL draft, and he has spent the last three years making a name for himself in the NCAA as a defense-first defenseman. He produced 20 points (4G, 16A) in 82 games with Boston University, eight (1 G, 7 A) of which came in 32 games this season with the Terriers where he also was assistant captain.
