Chicago Blackhawks veteran Brent Seabrook may be slowing with age, but the legendary playmaker will remain a top producer on the revamped 2017-18 ‘Hawks blue line
It’s now painfully clear that 32-year-old Brent Seabrook can’t move with the same speed and agility he had as an under-30 defenseman, but the NHL veteran can still make dazzling pass plays that verge on the super-human. And though he scored just three goals last season, Seabrook tallied 36 assists, second only to the 39 helpers he posted in 2010-11. Still, many view Seabrook’s eight-year $55 million contract extension as a white elephant that will keep the ‘Hawks in a salary cap bind well into the next decade.
