He carries a $1.07M cap hit through 2028-29 on an entry-level contract before restricted free agency.

His cap hit is the 15th-largest on the Chicago Blackhawks NHL roster and uses 1.0% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $5.76M in cap space.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
