The player who will be paid more than Nick Suzuki on the Canadiens is revealed

Slafkovsky, whose contract spans eight years, will earn an average of $7.6 million annually starting from the 2025-2026 season, while Guhle will receive $5.55 million per year for six years.

These deals reflect the team's commitment to its young talents while maintaining a clear salary hierarchy, with Nick Suzuki still the highest-paid at $7.875 million through 2030.

However, as the Canadiens aim for increased competitiveness, particularly from 2025, Kent Hughes may need to adjust his salary strategy, according to Stu Cowan on Tony Marinaro's podcast.

It is likely that Hughes will have to offer higher salaries to strengthen the team, making Suzuki less the top earner. Thus, the highest-paid player on the Canadiens will be a free agent in 2025.
