Confirmed with Link: Three-year, entry-level contract for Juraj Slafkovsky

[Natey]

Depends on how he looks in camp/what's best for his development.

I'm pretty sure he'd say f*** that and go to Europe.

Playing against kids would be terrible for his development.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

I'm pretty sure he'd say f*** that and go to Europe.

That depends almost entirely on the rapport he develops with management and their assurances before he gets sent down to the AHL or OHL. If they can convince him that either of those paths is actually best for his development and long-term NHL future, he might accede to their wishes.

The birth of a legend.

Not necessarily. Let's wait until main camp.

Yes it's extremely unlikely. But I'm not sold the AHL is better development than the OHL for an 18 year old.

Then send him back to Europe. The kid played most of his games against men and now you're going to play him against kids who will never even be good enough for the Austrian League?

We might as well have traded the pick if we think he's that far away that he needs to play kids.

0% chance.

AHL is completely fine and reasonable.

Ring . No mistakes.
What does it all mean?

Shane Wright might go back to the OHL. Slaf is a kid. Let's develop him properly, whatever that is. Let him tear up each level then graduate.

0% chance he's not playing against men.

Either way, it has nothing to do with whether we should have drafted him or traded the pick

 

[Captain97]

There is no way he plays against kids, he'll kiss outmuscle since he is larger than most men.

He'll play NHL or AHL almost certainly. Last choice is back Liiga.

 

[Hannibal]

Congrats kid!

 

[Tyson]

Good to get this done. Slaf is going to be a good player but I stress patience.
Markus Naslund was marketed big time by the Penguins many years ago only to put up like 4 goals in his rookie year and then traded for Alex Stojanov.
Naslund wound up having a great career in Vancouver and Stojanov ended up playing 45 games for Pittsburgh.

Patience please with Slaf!

lol, he's under contract, he has to play where the Habs say.

 

[Natey]

lol, he's under contract, he has to play where the Habs say.

Right, because others haven't refused to be assigned somewhere... lol

It doesn't matter anyway, it's a stupid thing to discuss because he's not playing in the OHL.

 

[Belial]

Imagine sending the Olympics MVP to OHL.

under contract, please tell me who has done that? I can't think of a single Hab in the last 20 years that's done that.

Because base salary and signing bonus (855k + 95k = 950k) are the only guaranteed money he'll get. The performance bonuses need to be achieved and will be added as cap penalty the following year.

The bonuses payout was increased this year so the numbers are out of date, but that will do just to give an idea on likely they are to be achieved,

A Level Bonuses - 212k each, 4 maximum (850k)

• 20 goals
• 35 assists
• 60 points
• Top6 in TOI (team forward)
• Top3 ± (team forward)
• PPG > 0.73 (over 42+ games)
• All Rookie team selection
• All Star selection
• All Star MVP

B Level Bonus - 2 million, ONE of:

• Top10 in goals (NHL, Forward)
• Top10 in assist (NHL, Forward)
• Top10 in points (NHL, Forward)
• Top10 in PPG (NHL, Forward, 42+ games played)
• Win one of: Hart/Richard/Conn Smythe/Selke trophy
• 1st or 2nd All Star team

So the max ELC jumped from 925 to 950?

I know this is Slaf’s thread, but oh man, Ducharme cost Caufield a lot of money.

Yes.

Draft Year / Maximum
2019 $925,000
2020 $925,000
2021 $925,000
2022 $950,000
2023 $950,000
2024 $975,000

I didn't say a Hab. I said it's happened.

Again, it doesn't matter because there's less than 0% chance he's in the OHL.

3 years to Bustovsky? Fire KH now
