Juraj Slafkovsky got PAID!
The first overall pick has agreed to terms on an eight-year contract extension with the Montreal Canadiens worth $7.6 million a season and Scott is beside himself with happiness. Scott takes a look at how this deal will impact the current Habs cap situation, and also why it's refreshing to see this front office gamble on young talent.
Also, how does this deal impact the rest of the NHL? With some other young stars finishing up their entry-level deals, the market for them to get paid has now been set.
Finally, what does this mean about the status of the Montreal Canadiens and their rebuild? With this deal kicking in during the 2025-2026 season, is that when we can expect a real push from the Habs for the playoffs?
