The 2018-19 statistics for Chicago Blackhawks‘s defenseman Brent Seabrook are as follows. In 78 games played, he averaged 19:06 time on ice. With that ice time, he tallied 5 goals and 23 assists for 28 points, with 124 hits, 180 blocked shots, a minus-6 goal differential, and 41 penalty minutes. He also had 72 giveaways with just 19 takeaways.
These numbers are not too shabby for an average NHL defenseman. However, Seabrook also carries that hefty salary cap hit of $6,875,000 through 2024. This is what muddies the waters in judging his season.
