Five-year extension signed but shoulder surgery delays return, with the 2023 Upper Deck rookie PSA 10 holding at $116 on 14 sales.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard inked a five-year, $75 million extension that gives him the NHL's third-highest cap hit next season, RotoBaller reported, though ESPN's Greg Wyshynski noted shoulder surgery will keep him out roughly four months.

The injury news tempers immediate on-ice impact but keeps the 21-year-old phenom in the headlines heading into 2026-27.

For the card side, that 2023 Upper Deck Hockey rookie in PSA 10 sits at $116 with 14 sales over 30 days, showing collectors aren't hitting pause despite the timeline.
