On Thursday, the Chicago Blackhawks announced that they have signed defenseman Louis Crevier to a contract extension.
Crevier is getting a one-way contract with a cap hit of $900,000 for two years. It is a contract that he earned by taking big strides in 2024-25. There is a lot of room to grow in his game, but he surprised many people with his play.
The 24-year-old had career highs in games played (32), goals (3), and points (4), while recording 70 hits. Those 70 hits were, despite only playing in 32 games, second on the team by a defenseman and seventh overall.
Crevier now has experience in the AHL playoffs and the NHL regular season and is ready to move into his next chapter of development. For being a 7th-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, he has come a long way.
With all of the young talent that Chicago has acquired on the blue line, he will have some internal competition in 2025-26. This contract means he will be given a fair shot to earn playing time.
