Montreal Canadians have signed Juraj Slafkovsky to his three -year contract.
The Canadians have accepted conditions of a three -year entry contract with striker Juraj Slafkovsky. # Gohabsgo https: // t / f5ybkbgy3x - Canadians Montreal July 13, 2022
The contract will go until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Slafkovsky was the first choice of the NHL 2022 draft on July 7 in Montreal. The wait was that he would sign his contract and arrive in North America, and this happened shortly after the end of the development camp.
The Slovak winger will be in the main training camp of the team and this will determine if he will start the season in the NHL or will have a little time with the Laval rocket in the American hockey league. He played last season in Finland and was his first full season at the senior level as a professional.
Because of his age, if he does not play 10 games from the regular season in the NHL this coming season, his contract would slip and will not count this year.
He is, of course, the first player in the 2022 draft class to sign his entry -level contract.
