    The Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a five-year, $29 million contract extension with defenseman Brent Seabrook, the team announced Sunday.

    It will be a yearly $5.8 million cap hit.

    "The Blackhawks are the only organization I've ever played for, and I've been a part of something very special in Chicago over the last six seasons," said Seabrook. "I'm excited to continue being a part of this group, playing in the United Center and making our fans proud."

    Seabrook will make $7 million in both 2011-12 and 2012-13, comprised of a $5 million salary and $2 million signing bonus, according to the source. He will then make $5 million a season from 2013-16, according to the source.

    Seabrook, 25, was in the last year of a three-year deal and was to be a restricted free agent at the season's end.
