Juraj Slafkovsky has the potential to be a star player in the NHL, and the Montreal Canadiens are willing to be patient with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.
The 20-year-old forward signed an eight-year, $60.8 million contract ($7.6 million average annual value) July 1, which begins in 2025-26. Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes is confident about the investment.
