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.

Helps out on power play
DChicago Blackhawks
March 2, 2025
Vlasic notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Vlasic has six helpers over his last seven outings. The 23-year-old defenseman's role is set to increase significantly following Saturday's trade to send Seth Jones to the Panthers. Vlasic led the Blackhawks with 23:53 of ice time, and he'll likely also take over Jones' spot on the first power-play unit initially. For the season, Vlasic has 23 points, 81 shots on net, 113 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 60 appearances. There may be some growing pains initially as he adapts to heavier usage, but he could be a No. 1 defenseman for the Blackhawks for a couple of years. Fantasy managers should at least be familiar with what he brings to the table while acknowledging that he carries a bit of upside despite a bad team situation until the Blackhawks' rebuild hits the upswing.

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.
