Brent Seabrook News
Retirement
Seabrook has announced his retirement from the NHL.
Seabrook is a three-time Stanley Cup Champion, who played 1114 regular-season games across 15 seasons, all with the Chicago Blackhawks. The defenseman has had a very difficult time with injuries in recent years and decided to call it a career on Friday.
The Blackhawks have placed Brent Seabrook (lower back) on IR.
Seabrook's injury woes continue as 2021 starts but his movement to regular IR, as opposed to LTIR, suggests that he could be back in the next three weeks. Ian Mitchell has taken Seabrook's spot on the Blackhawks' blueline to begin the season.
Seabrook will undergo right shoulder surgery and surgery on both hips, ending his 2019-20 season; has been placed on LTIR.
This is new territory for Seabrook, who has missed only 19 games since becoming a full-time NHLer in 2006-07. While his play has fallen off a bit in recent years, Seabrook is still an integral part of the Blackhawks blueline, playing 18:09 ATOI this season. IN addition to the right shoulder surgery, Seabrook is also scheduled to have surgery n his right hip in early-January and his left hip in early-February, paving a long road to recovery for the 34-year-old defenseman. The one bit of positive news is his move to LTIR frees up $6.875M in cap-space for Chicago to work with this season.
