Plot twist involving Juraj Slafkovsky and there's an update

While many observers are considering the possibility of offering him a hefty eight-year contract now to save money in the long run, another possibility arises: what if Slafkovsky were to refuse?

If an eight-year extension were signed this summer, the price could range around 7 to 8 million dollars per year. However, if he declines and waits until next summer, his price could significantly increase.

Slafkovsky, standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 230 pounds, concluded the season with 35 points in 39 games.

Basu points out that Slafkovsky might opt to turn down offers from the Canadiens not because he doesn't want to commit long-term, but because he prefers to bet on himself.

Therefore, Slafkovsky's situation is one to closely monitor this summer. At 20 years old, the forward has shown serious potential with 20 goals and 50 points this season, which bodes well for his future.
