25-Year-Old DefensemanD
Chicago Blackhawks
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Vlasic went from recording a career-high 30 points in 82 outings in 2024-25 to just two goals and 19 points in 81 appearances last year. He averaged 1:25 with the man advantage in 2024-25 and took advantage of that opportunity by chipping in 12 points. However, he barely had any opportunities on the power play last season. Despite him being marginally more productive offensively at even strength, his point total dipped. That also coincided with a drop from 157 blocks to 119, which is problematic because that is the only secondary category in which he earned noteworthy results. His minus-16 rating, 17 PIM and 29 hits in 2025-26 certainly weren’t fantasy assets. He might rebound in terms of blocks, but his lack of a physical game hurts his versatility, and he probably won’t climb back to 30 points unless he regains a power-play spot. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a six-year, $27.6 million contract with the Blackhawks in April of 2024.

Vlasic logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
Vlasic has earned five assists over his last 15 games while seeing steady top-four minutes. The 24-year-old blueliner is at 21 points, 81 shots on net, 117 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 78 appearances this season. He won't match last year's 30-point performance, as he's evolved into more of a shutdown defenseman after regularly serving as an overall No. 1 option for the Blackhawks last year, which included more power-play usage.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2022
Vlasic had four goals and 30 points in 82 outings last season, nearly doubling his point total from his previous campaign. Much of the 24-year-old’s increase came on the power play, where he saw his production jump from two points in 2023-24 to 12. He offers versatility in leagues that use blocks -- he can provide about 150 per campaign -- but he’s far less impressive in terms of hits with just 59 last season. Vlasic is relatively young and part of a developing squad, so there is opportunity for growth. However, his position with the man advantage isn’t secure, as highlighted by his average of just 0:13 on the power play across his final 10 games last year, which coincided with the emergence of Sam Rinzel and Artyom Levshunov, so Vlasic exceeding his 30 points from 2024-25 isn’t as good a bet as it would initially look.
Outside of Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard, Vlasic was probably the most pleasant surprise for the Blackhawks a season ago. He came out of seemingly nowhere to earn first-pairing defensive minutes for the club, posting two goals, 16 points, 56 hits and 148 blocks in 76 games. Clearly impressed with his contributions, Chicago handed Vlasic a new six-year, $27.6 million contract extension in April. Vlasic doesn't contribute much with the man advantage, meaning his fantasy value is next to nil, but the 23-year-old Illinois native is going to help the Blackhawks win hockey games over the next several years.
Vlasic signed his entry-level deal with the Blackhawks upon the completion of his third year at Boston University last spring. He ended up playing in 15 games for the club down the stretch, managing one goal and one assist. Vlasic didn't appear overwhelmed in his brief NHL stint, although he averaged just 14:19 worth of ice time per game. He should be a regular for Chicago in 2022-23 in a bottom-four role, albeit one that is unlikely to provide any fantasy value. Vlasic will play the entirety of this upcoming season at age 21.
