Now that the Montreal Canadiens' season is over, it's officially speculation season on various sports platforms in Quebec.
Notably, last night on TVA Sports during Jean-Charles Lajoie's show, a potential trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers involving Alexis Lafrenière was brought up.
We're talking about a "one-for-one" trade involving Lafrenière and none other than Juraj Slafkovsky.
If you ask me, I absolutely wouldn't make this trade.
A Trade Involving Alexis Lafrenière and Juraj Slafkovsky Discussed on TVA Sports
As you can imagine, it's sparking reactions.
"Should the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers trade two former first overall picks, Juraj Slafkovsky and Alexis Lafrenière, to give them the best chance at success?
That's the tough question Jean-Charles Lajoie asked his colleague Philippe Boucher."

In short, the expert explains that he really likes Slafkovsky and believes people need to be patient with him.
That said, he seems intrigued by the proposal.
"The Montreal market could be good for him," Boucher acknowledged.
"He performed well when he was under a lot of pressure in Rimouski.
All eyes were on him."

And he concludes by saying he's not sure he would go through with it, due to the price involved here (Slafkovsky).
All his explanations are in the following article:
21-year-old Juraj Slafkovsky recorded 51 points in 79 games this season, along with 50 points in 82 games last season.
He spent most of his time on the first line and the first power play unit.
23-year-old Alexis Lafrenière tallied 45 points in 82 games this season and 57 points in 82 games the previous season.
He played primarily on the Rangers' second line and second power play unit.
Both players have similar contracts.. So, would you make this trade?
