GM Stan Bowman released the following statement about the deal: We believe Dylan is ready to take the next step in his career and build off the strides he has made in his first two years in Chicago. He has great offensive instincts and brings creativity and skill to our team. We are thrilled he is now signed and able to join us tomorrow for the start of training camp.
That should have him in line for a sizable jump in playing time from the 15:56 per game he had last season.
CapFriendly reports that the deal will pay him $2.4MM this season and $3.6MM next season. That means that his qualifying offer alone will guarantee a raise on his next contract in 2022 as it will check in at $3.6MM; in this case, both elements of the qualifying offer calculation (the preceding season salary or 120% of the AAV) come up to the same number.
