Confirmed with Link: Alex DeBrincat extension - 3 years, $6.4m AAV

[RememberTheRoar]

Maybe you guys badgering him on Twitter got something through.

@TLEHMANN @Toews2Bickell @RememberTheRoar

I don't badger him on Twitter. In the comments section on The Athletic, that's a different story...

It's a good contract. I wish he was tied up longer, but it ending the same time as the Toews, Kane, and Keith contracts end really helps (love to see each of those guys re-signed, but not at their current cap hit). Also, Cat will still be a RFA, so it's not like we have to be concerned with him walking for nothing.

This also might make it easier to re-sign Strome and help to ice a competitive roster over the next few seasons.

And honestly, I'm glad that I can cheer on Cat burning down villages this season without worrying about how much it'll hurt next year's team.

Fine with this deal

We waited all day for you to weigh in and this is all you're giving us?

Four measly words?

I demand a refund.

if the deal was bad it would have been a 2 paragraph Stanley blast fest...BWC never changes....

Late to the party again, but booyah!!! Great flippin' deal for both sides.

 

[bwana63]

Feeling great about Strome's new contract. Would like some feedback from resident capologists on what it would take to re-sign Gus and if we have room.

Lmao, these two are my favorite. Looks like cat took him out to celebrate. Why are we Blackhawks fans so lucky to get the best bromance in hockey?

 

[AmericanDream]

they are adorable!!

to be 21, rich as hell and traveling around the world to the nicest cities to play a game you love while also having your best friend there to take part...imagine...both deserve it though...both dealt with a lot of doubters to get to this point and won out...

"you see that line right there..thats where scout 2 said you're only a 20/20 guy"

and with all of that is why they will show the Hawks loyalty for drafting them when other people passed (Cat) and trading for when people said he was a bust (Strome)...these two did this on their own merits but still owe the organization a debt of gratitude to give them an opportunity to live the life you speak of...plus doesn't hurt to step on the ice with #88 and #19...Cat and Strome both want to stay here and be linemates/teammates for as long as possible..win/win for us and them.

people who like the deal are upset that people arent upset with the deal. what a world.

More like “here’s the automatic gratuity”

More like “here’s the automatic gratuity”

"here is your automatic gratuity on line one..on line two is the $19.2 million dollar extension minus the gratuity...its still $19.2 million"

There is absolutely zero truth to this.

f***ing scout #2.

Powers wrote up another one of those articles today. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'm sure there's a gem or two in there. Not sure whether we'll ever get gold like scout #2 again though.
