Great deal, bridging him would be a mistake. He's the real deal, I was hoping for 8x8.25 so all about this

Slafkovsky, Caufield and Suzuki all signed for 8 years under 8m.
That's some sweet cap music.

Good deal. Slaf was starting to breakout last year so I’m not sure why he was in a rush to sign an extension.
This is why it’s important to have an internal cap set by your best player. Suzuki’s AAV keeps all other AAVs down.

Why would Slaf even sign that? He could very well be a 9m + player in two years
I'm sure habs fan will attack me but why sign him to this deal now?
Year one he was not great, year two he had a stretch that looked better than it was because of how bad he was before.
Why not wait to see how this season goes because even if he breaks out he's still not going to get more than this based of one season.

EEK!
Certainly going to pay him more than he's "worth" right now. Hope is obviously that he grows into that contract.
Other thing to consider is that he'll only be 21 when the deal starts. That basically gives 4 full years to see whether or not he's earned his contract. If he hasn't. he can still be bought out, though with 5 years left, at only 1/3rd of the hit, unless they change the rules in the next CBA.

Huge gamble on solely a good 2nd half of 1 season. Could be disastrous. But could be okay.

Ok guy whose team just signed a 50 point player to 1mil less than 56 goal scoring Sam Reinhart
This could be a good deal in 2-3 years but it'd look even better if the Habs made a couple of moves to improve the team now.

Still young but this could be a great contract as it ages. Still in the young 20's so there's nowhere to go but up.
Just turned 20 year old 6’4 230 lb 50 point kid that was drafted 1oa?

It's legit laughable with all the absolutely atrocious deals getting handed out today that haters are coming in trying to make this look bad.
There's risk, but really not that much and there's a mountain of upside.

The reactions in this thread show how little people actually watch the Habs.
Most Habs fans were going to be happy if it was under 8.25 and some members of our media were speculating 8.5+.
This is a great contract, he put up 50 points as a 19 year old. If he progresses at all given his physical and defensive game its fair value if he gets to 60-65 points. This is going to be a steal.

I mean, I think it's a great move for the Habs. He will be worth that halfway through at worse. Pretty good chance he is worth more than that half way through

This thread starting to reek like the Stutzle thread a couple years ago...
Think he's going to flirt with 70 points this year and then would be looking at closer to 9
