A reliable, elite player. Hopefully next season he will show the league he is an unstoppable force and they need to game-plan to try to stop him.What comes after ''parabolic''?
Slovak Slovak Slovak Bonjour Monsieur
It's a small sample size, but if you add this WC to his great 21-22 performances at the Olympic games and the WC that year, he definitely seems to go into beast mode when he's playing for his country.He has the weight of a Nations fanbase on him and is showing zero signs of waffling, In fact, I think that weight helps to drive and propel him.
I am going to absolutely step in shit here.....but, I'll say it.....he has a Hart trophy in his future.

Lets take advantage of this young man!!! He's so humble and has great character let's fleece himArpon mentioning on TSN 690 that the Habs priority this summer is to get Slaf signed long term and they're hoping to get him into that Suzuki/Caufield structure.

Getting paid 60+ million isn't him being fleeced. That's him setting himself and his family up for life.Lets take advantage of this young man!!! He's so humble and has great character let's fleece him
No kidding.Getting paid 60+ million isn't him being fleeced. That's him setting himself and his family up for life.
The odds are good. He only had 1/2 a season dominating the way he did. He was close to go back to Laval at some point. As an agent you can see this two way, sign now and you know you walk away from you career with $60M regardless of what happen next, or sign a 3yrs at 5 (so 15 total) with the hope the next one is a big fat one. He can bet on himself but an injury or lesser performance can yield a lower contract and "life time earning".Think he’d ink and 8x8 ?
6 X 7.5M should be good enough, IMO. Leaves hims a 26-yr old tossing a mega contract that brings him through age 34 and earns him 45M + 3M as an ELC.The odds are good.

That's guaranteed money, too.Getting paid 60+ million isn't him being fleeced. That's him setting himself and his family up for life.

not to mention he'll make bank being one of the faces of the NHL in Europe, and being a star for the Habs.Getting paid 60+ million isn't him being fleeced. That's him setting himself and his family up for life.

The large majority of players do not leave money on the table though and doing so, shouldn't be required to help your team win.The thing about a contract is that both sides have to agree to it.. some guys actually leave some money on the table to win, unlike the Figs
Yeah I bet lolArpon mentioning on TSN 690 that the Habs priority this summer is to get Slaf signed long term and they're hoping to get him into that Suzuki/Caufield structure.

He pays his agent to look after his best interest, so that's what he's going to do.I think so but depends on what his agent will feed him. Habs best pitch is to offer the Suzuki contract and see if it works. I do think the Habs would be reaching to some degree but it could be a good deal in the last 4/8 years.
Nobody knows where Slaf will max out at. Not even Slaf. The part that worries me is growth from our top 6 assets and how this helps Slaf reach big numbers.
* Suzuki is Suzuki. Quietly improves year/year.
* Caufield is flashy. Goes on hot/cold streaks. What you see is what you get at this point IMO.
* Dach getting injured was very deflating. If he has a healthy season, I am sure he shows his potential.
* Who knows what Roy does this year.
* Who knows what kind of top 6 asset we try to add.
