Blackhawks Sign 2024 First-Rounder Sacha Boisvert to Three-Year Entry-Level Deal

The 6-foot-3 center is awaiting visa clearance that could set up an NHL debut later this week.

Overview

  • The entry-level contract runs through the 2027-28 season and carries a $974,167 cap hit, the team announced.
  • Boisvert could join practices and be available for games this week, pending visa processing, with Chicago playing Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
  • Drafted No. 18 overall in 2024, the Quebec-born forward is viewed as a skilled, physical presence who adds size down the middle.
  • He posted 18 goals and 32 points as North Dakota’s 2024-25 Rookie of the Year before transferring to Boston University.
  • At BU this season, he recorded three goals and 14 assists in 26 games, served a two-game suspension in January after a fight, and was a healthy scratch to open the Hockey East tournament.
