Connor Bedard signed a huge deal – is now the third highest-paid in the NHL
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed their superstar Connor Bedard to a long-term contract. The team announced early Sunday morning Finnish time that they have reached a five-year extension with the NHL’s 2023 first overall pick.
The fresh mega deal is worth a total of 75 million dollars, guaranteeing the Canadian center an average salary of 15 million dollars per season.
This hefty deal elevates Bedard into the absolute salary elite of the NHL. In the upcoming season, only Leo Carlsson and Kirill Kaprizov will earn more than Bedard for their services.
Bedard’s upcoming season will start from the injured list. The star forward is currently recovering from shoulder surgery, and he is expected to return to playing condition in just under four months.
Bedard had the most productive NHL season of his career last year. He finished with 30 goals and 45 assists for a total of 75 points in 69 regular season games, further solidifying his position as the brightest star of the Blackhawks.
