Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook is denying a recent report that stated the team asked him to waive his no-trade clause.
"I mean, I guess I'm the last to know," Seabrook told Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times. "I don't know. I haven't been approached or asked about anything, so it's news to me."
Seabrook signed an eight-year, $55-million contract in 2015 shortly after winning his third Stanley Cup with the franchise. He carries a $6.875-million cap hit until 2024 and has a full no-trade clause until 2022.
The 33-year-old has spent his entire career with the Blackhawks since being drafted 14th overall in 2003, and has recorded 20 points in 52 games this season while logging just under 20 minutes per contest.
