Blacker seeks 7 year deal

[Higgins 3,617]

The son of legendary 5 time cup champion Black Velvet has kept a low profile so far into his professional hockey career. Much unlike his father who at Blacker's age already won his 1st championship and released 2 hip hop singles that chartered in Canada Hot 100. The Velvet family name is forever celebrated in Toronto, remembered in Calgary, and thanked in Helsinki.

 

The average hockey fan has no idea Black Velvets son has been drafted and is playing professional hockey. Blacker was selected 19th overall by Davos in last seasons entry draft and has played the past 2 seasons with Las Vegas in the minors. Easy information for anyone to access to the VHL stat portal, but what might not be obvious is that Blacker never signed an Entry level contract with the team that drafted him. There was no arbitration case, no contract signed, and no training camp for Blacker who reported to Las Vegas and played the season under the radar.

 

Blacker may live in the shadow of his Hall of fame father, but for the first time we are hearing that Blacker Velvet is interested in joining the league his father dominated - the VHL. And he wants a 7 season contract. Unprecedented in league history - the longest contract in league history is 5 seasons. Will any general managers take a chance on the young Velvet for 7 years?
