Blackhawks Re-Sign Louis Crevier On Two-Year Contract

July 17, 2025 at 1:16 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 8 Comments

The Blackhawks have re-signed defenseman Louis Crevier to a one-way, two-year, $1.8MM contract, the team announced. He’ll carry a cap hit of $900K through the 2026-27 season.

Crevier lands his first one-way contract after seeing NHL action in two straight seasons with Chicago. The retention of Crevier will leave Chicago with only one unsigned restricted free agent skater, fellow defender Wyatt Kaiser. The club now has four defensemen signed to one-way deals for 2025-26 – a low number at first glance, but the rest of the spots will presumably be filled by some combination of Kaiser and their large group of high-end young rearguards on entry-level contracts.

Chicago reached an agreement with Crevier quicker than they did last summer, when it took until July 29 to get the young rearguard signed to a two-way contract. He wasn’t arbitration-eligible at the time, and despite gaining that status for 2025, he chose not to file.

Crevier, 24, again bounced between the Blackhawks and the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs throughout the season but remained on the NHL roster from March 3 to the end of the campaign. He scored three goals – his first in the NHL – with one assist for four points and a minus-six rating in 32 games, eight more appearances than he logged in 2023-24. He saw 17:17 of ice time per game, and the 6’8″, 228-lb righty recorded 49 blocks and 70 hits.

While he won’t command an everyday role over the Blackhawks’ higher-ceiling prospects, the multi-year one-way commitment suggests they envision him remaining on the NHL roster as a No. 7/8 option on the depth chart. His deal will only be worth slightly above the league minimum in 2026-27 as that figure jumps to $850K.

The Quebec native was drafted by the Hawks in the seventh round in 2020 and has also made 118 appearances for Rockford in the last three years, posting a 4-16–20 scoring line and a plus-seven rating.

    Brother Josh, how badly did you want to refer to Louis as ‘hulking’?

    Compliments on having a strong will and thick skin.

      Hopefully you’re joking, because Davidson would get hung up on immediately, and rightfully so.

      FWIW, if Botterill is dumb enough to say yes to this, I’d be thrilled. Back to reality though.

    Lot of big boys on D for Chicago. If Korchinski ever cracks the NHL as a regular he’s going to look like a baby next to the rest of them.

    How come no mention of Soderblom? Is he still Hawks property technically? I haven’t heard of him being signed yet.

      That’s what I’ve been wondering. Last I heard, they were set to go to an arbitration hearing.
