Confirmed with Link: Juraj Slafkovsky re-signs with the Canadiens 8 x $7.6M

[CristianoRonaldo]

Great deal, knowing that the cap space got up by 4M for the next season, and it will get higher every year...

 

[overlords]

In the 32-33 season, Juraj Slafkosvky will still be getting paid 7.6$M, which is only 1.1$M more than Brendan gallagher was costing against our cap in 21-22.

 

[HabsolutelyFabulous]

Thrilled for us, and for Slaf. This is a brand spanking new philosophy on how to manage contracts..... so wonderful to see after the last 15 ish years

 

[The Real Timo]

Pressure is on now, kid!

Better see a 7.5M performance every year now.

How does this have anything to do with Wright?

Weird post

 

[JianYang]

Good bet of a contract and I don't think it's a coincidence that the announcement coincides with an otherwise inactive July 1st.

It will take the spotlight away from not making any big ufa signing which probably would have been a mistake regardless.

 

[yianik]

All in on this core.

I’d much rather

Nick, Cole and Slaf at 7.6-7.8 each than the 4 donkeys in Toronto.

Sorry, you only get 2 donkeys for that money.

 

[Not The One]

It d

This type of management gives me hope

And what if settles as a 50 point player?

Always remember the people here who were cheering for the Gallagher contract who are now acting like it was obviously a bad deal.

Fans have short memories...

 

[Sam de Mtl]

If Slaf isn't worth this contract, our rebuild is screwed. Very worthwhile gamble.

 

[yianik]

60M for our boy

David Desharnais is waiting for his kickback for enrolling the kid when he was 9.

Um, is this some kind of cosmic , preordained stuff ?????

Well at least we have Demidov coming up who's going to be eligible for a big Contract in 4 years...
but yeah i agree a contract like that makes no sense...

Its like management changed stance since Subban, they've never low balled any one since then...

It was a minority. Most felt that contract was a mistake the moment it was signed.

Best contract given out today

2nd best. Edmonton did re-sign Corey Perry and guarantee itself another stanley cup finals next year.

 

[Jaynki]

You don't pay a player for what he has done. Thats a trap.

You pay him for what he will do.

Steal. Holy f***ing steal. Prime Slaf for 7.6M

2nd best. Edmonton did re-sign Corey Perry and guarantee itself another stanley cup finals next year.

If Perry revisits a team they are eliminated in the first rounds.

Dallas, new team, finals, lost
Habs, new team, finals, lost
Tampa, new team, finals, lost
Tampa, same team, first round exit.
Chicago, contract terminated, Edmonton, new team, finals, lost.
Edmonton, same team, will be a first round exit.

I love your use of this every damn time!

 

[Ezpz]

Very nice to not have bergevin as gm.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Sorry, you only get 2 donkeys for that money.

Yep

Precisely why I prefer our stallions.

You can literally fit a whole other elite forward/d-man in the cap with the difference in salary.

23.325m for Nick, Cole & Slaf

35.653m for Matthews, Nylander & Marner

 

[larek]

That's alot of money for such a small career

 

[Prairie Habs]

Obviously not without risk, but I think this ages beautifully for us

 

[sandviper]

This is a “I’m here for the team and not for myself like a Maple Leaf” type of contract.

Obviously a lot of risk but if he continues that trajectory from last season, this is gonna be a great contract.

 

[CHarlie]

Love it!!!!.......and to think we have over 11 million in 3 expired contracts at the end of this season.....we are in unbelievable position moving forward

 

[Saundies]

I’m fine with it. It’s this managements choice to make bets on guys, and that’s fine. It worked for Suzuki, so hopefully Caufield and Slaf take upwards trajectories as well.

It’s obvious management has identified our core and will build around who they’ve identified.

Uh duh... Management changed since then. And low balling Subban was one of the dumbest idea anyone ever had.
