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.
Sets career high in points
DChicago Blackhawks
January 4, 2025
Vlasic notched an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Vlasic ended a seven-game drought when he helped out on a Nick Foligno's insurance tally in the third period. The 23-year-old Vlasic's dip on offense coincides with the return of Seth Jones from a broken foot. Vlasic still plays important minutes for the Blackhawks, but he's seen a reduced power-play role. Overall, he has a career-high 17 points with 64 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 39 appearances this season.

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.
