Sujet: Chicago Blackhawks signed Alex Vlasic (6 Years / $4,600,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>I respectfully disagree with everyone saying this is a good contract. He's played less than 100 games. 6 years 4.5M is crazy risky.
What was the rush to sign him long-term???? Sorry but this guy is a 3rd pairing dman. Hate the risk to this.</div></div>

I mean, look at players like John Marino, Mikey Anderson, Rasmus Andersson, Jakob Chychrun, Brett Pesce, Mattias Samuelsson, etc all have gotten this type of deal and excelled, Nikita Zaitsev is about the only player who has gotten this type of contract and not done well. Vlasic had a really good year and Chicago has all the cap space in the world, when they'll be competing, they'll be glad to have a solid top 4D under 5mil

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Understand and appreciate your perspective. I would counter that waiting has not worked for Buffalo, Ottawa, Edmonton(in the past). Detroit in the other hand, until they fell apart, I think we all felt would make the playoffs.

<strong>I want to be in the mix playing "meaningful games" asap. I've had enough of this slow and steady. There is no guarantee that yields any results. We might just teach our players that it's "ok to lose"</strong>.</div></div>

I mean, we we're playing meaningful games for most of the season, even down the last stretch of the season the team was still giving it their all. There's no guarantee jumping the gun would yield any results either, look at Ottawa going for Debrincat, Chychrun, Giroux, Tarasenko and nothing has worked for them, they tried to jump the gun and now they look lost. MSL has also done a really nice job of coaching and will continue to get the most out of the players, the fear that we're teaching players it's okay to lose is irrational.
