slaf is only 20 years old, and 230 lbs. i like how he turned it around this past season. really happy for the kid. the potential is there for him to do so much more. MTL with gm hughes is doing an excellent job with the rebuild. he's locking down the core assets at long-term fair and fixed labor costs. the fans there in montreal are smart (albeit a bit crazy at times lol) so the canadiens can take reasonable time to set the team up for competitive p-off success.
He's entering his third year, so I'll still be making a rookie salary, not $7.5 million right away. At HABS, they know exactly what they are doing and what they expect from him in the new season...they are still rebuilding and building the team according to long-term plans...that's why they signed him right away...it's about mutual trust and respect. Now Juraj can only focus on the game, improving the performance, the success of the team, as he himself said. Don't expect a 100-point season from him, because he does a lot of work in the attacking third for his teammates... Suzuki had a good season, and I'll just remind you that it was Juraj who assisted him on 11 goals... they have great chemistry.
Still mid-expectations. He's on his last year of ELC and he's still developing. My general expectations won't raise until at least next year depending on what kind of year we are getting for 24/25. I guess my biggest expectation is Kirby Dach playing a full season lmfao.
@@Novitch-123 wouldnt want to pay a bum a 8 million for 43 points . better on elc . oh wait your paying gallagher , price , suzuki , caufield and anderson ridiculous amounts for no production . my bad i forgot
@@Samlevine111 So you agree? Nobody is going to be paid 8 millions for 43pts. 925k for 43pts. Then 7.6 million for easy 30-40-70 guy. Everyone is happy. I never mention or was mention in this video any of these guys ? Its irrelevant. Suzuki had 77pts ? Lol... Obvious troll is obvious. Trolling on youtube , your life must be fucking pathetic.
I feel like Montreal is building right, locking down players while young and affordable, and the roster is actually full with great potential instead of being back or front heavy
My expectations are 50+ points with small improvements in the two way game. He's entering year 3 of his elc, it's unfair to expect him to be a 7.5 million dollar player this season
They were kinda forced to start him earlier than they should’ve (they were that bad). So put the rookie season down as ‘advanced’ development. If you need a label, call last year his rookie season.
It’s a gamble, he still has a lot to prove. A good portion of those goals deflected it off of him. I think he can do it, I think it was a good bet, but we’ll have to see.
The fist season was NOT disappointing. He was 19, ffs, and learning how to play on a smaller surface. Stop spouting made-up sound bites that have no basis in reality. You're not in the comment section.
First season is always tough for european players on a smaller rink, especially when they jump straight to the NHL... I don't get people's expectations sometimes...
I love the optimistic math used on a very uneven season; ignore the slow start and use the strong finish as the baseline for next season. He'll probably get close to 50 points
Sophomore slump? Possible, but I think the slump won't be that bad...maybe 44 points? But, he seemed to play more aggressively in international play which poses that he should do better than last year.
Good deal for the Canadiens, yes or no? Let us know YOUR thoughts 👇
60-70 points with strong two way play. Give he was point per game over the last 50 games I’d say those numbers are easily attainable.

Talking about the future core of Mtl without mentioning Demidov is absurd
Strong, smart and a very good skater
Just keep doing what’s he’s doing, maturing.

He was also hurt for half of it lol. Slightly disappointing, but not the huge disappointment people make it out to be.

actually he was 18 lol.. I think he got injured before he even turned 19
30 g 40 a. Healthy. 200 hits 300 shots
if he reach 60p next season well start talking
He will
That is kinda laughable, lol THE CUP !!!!!

its not optimistic, the strong finish is because he got put on the same line as caufield and suzuki
