8-year contract for Juraj Slafkovsky with the Montreal Canadiens
That's not all! Not only are we talking about an eight-season contract, so very long-term, but also an extremely reasonable financial deal.
"The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, Kent Hughes, announced Monday that the team has agreed to the terms of an eight-season contract extension (2025-2026 to 2032-2033) worth $60.8 million with forward Juraj Slafkovsky. The deal will bring him an average annual salary of $7.6 million."
