Slaggert signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Friday.
Slaggert is in the final season of his two-year, entry-level deal, so his newly signed agreement will begin with the 2025-26 campaign. The 22-year-old had 20 goals and 31 points in 36 NCAA outings with Notre Dame as well as a goal and four points in 16 outings with Chicago during the 2023-24 campaign. He has an assist in one appearance with AHL Rockford this season. Slaggert's new contract is a one-way deal, which means he'll earn the same salary regardless of if he plays in the minors or the NHL, suggesting that the Blackhawks see him playing at the top level consistently, starting in 2025-26.
