Chicago Blackhawks Star Connor Bedard Agrees to a $75 Million, Five-Year Contract
- On Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks announced a five-year, $75 million contract extension with center Connor Bedard, securing him through the 2030-31 season.
- Bedard, who turned 21 on Friday, recorded career highs of 30 goals and 75 points last season, leading the Blackhawks in scoring for three consecutive campaigns.
- The agreement carries a $15 million salary cap hit per season, placing him among the NHL's highest-paid players behind the Anaheim Ducks' Leo Carlsson at $18 million.
- Despite the commitment, Bedard will miss the start of the upcoming season following left shoulder surgery, with the team expecting a full recovery in approximately four months.
- Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson continues the team's rebuild, recently acquiring defenseman Bowen Byram, as Chicago aims to improve after three consecutive last-place finishes in the Central Division.
