Patrick Sharp's contract extended 5 years

Today Patrick Sharp received a contract extension. He will be with the Blackhawks for 5 more years now. During the press conference after the signing he said, "I don't want to ever leave"

This is all good news for the Blackhawks. The offseason moves this summer will make a huge difference on the team during the season. Sharp wasn't a free agent, but he would be next summer and this gets rid of the distraction during the season.

Last year Sharp had probably his best season ever, but he says that he wants to continue to get better and he thinks that he can do that. When Toews, Kane, and Hossa had injury issues last year he was the guy that carried the team and continued to score goals. Hopefully this year the Blackhawks don't have to deal with as many injuries, but I also hope that the Sharp continues to be a goal scorer.
