Report: Blackhawks to Sign Oliver Moore to Contract Extension
The deal rewards the 2023 first-round pick after he posted 5 goals and 14 assists in 51 games last season.
- On Thursday, the Chicago Blackhawks announced a five-year contract extension for forward Oliver Moore with a $4.25 million annual salary cap hit, securing his future through the 2031-32 season.
- Selected 19th overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, Moore developed through the American Hockey League affiliate Rockford IceHogs before appearing in 60 total NHL games for Chicago.
- Moore's $4.25 million cap hit is about $2.35 million less annually than center Frank Nazar's seven-year, $6.59 million extension, reflecting Chicago's strategy to invest in young players before their ceiling is established.
- Coach Jeff Blashill praised Moore's tenacity and composure with the puck on Monday, noting he is "showing signs of doing a real good job with that" as he centers the third line during training camp.
- General manager Kyle Davidson envisions Moore as a top-six center as Chicago determines which young players belong in its long-term picture, with the deal potentially becoming team-friendly if Moore develops as expected.
