Blackhawks star inks five-year deal but faces surgery delay, spotlight turns to his 2023 UD rookie card.
RotoBaller reports Connor Bedard signed a five-year $75 million extension with the Blackhawks, carrying the third-highest cap hit in the NHL next season, though shoulder surgery will sideline him for roughly four months into 2026-27.
ESPN's Greg Wyshynski notes the restricted free agent suffered the injury in training and is expected to recover fully, following a prior shoulder issue that limited him last year to 75 points in 69 games.
That contract news lands on his 2023 Upper Deck Hockey rookie, which sits at $116 PSA 10 with 14 sales in the past 30 days, giving collectors a fresh reason to watch early-season supply and demand.
