Five Years – $29 Million

The Blackhawks have pulled off the impossible – locking up veteran D-man Brent Seabrook . The deal is reported to be a $29-million US, 5 year contract extension.

The 25-year-old has spent his entire NHL career with the Blackhawks after being selected in the first round of the 2003 draft.

“Brent is a very important member of our organization and we are looking forward to him being part of a core group that will be a contender for many years to come,” Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman said in a statement.

“We have been fortunate to have Brent as part of our family since he was a teenager and we are proud to be able to announce this news today.”

Seabrook has four goals and 33 points in 61 games this season. In 452 career NHL games, he’s registered 177 points.

Seabrook told the media “The Blackhawks are the only organization I’ve ever played for and I’ve been a part of something very special in Chicago over the last six seasons and I’m excited to continue being a part of this group, playing in the United Center and making our fans proud.”

Seabrook calls Tsawassen BC home and has won (both) the Stanley Cup as well as an Olympic Gold medal with Team Canada in the 2010 Olympic’s.
