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.

Vlasic logged a shorthanded assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
ANALYSIS
Vlasic ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old defenseman has given way to other prospects like Sam Rinzel, Artyom Levshunov and Kevin Korchinski for power-play time lately, which largely explains Vlasic's reduced output on offense despite his top-four role. He's at 29 points (12 on the power play, one shorthanded), 100 shots on net, 146 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-20 rating over 79 appearances. If Vlasic is not part of the Blackhawks' long-term plans on the power play, his fantasy outlook is that of a top-four blueliner who can chip in with blocks and depth scoring, which doesn't bring universal appeal.

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.
