Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky has a 10-team modified no-trade clause included in the final three years of his new contract extension, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
The detail follows the announcement that the 20-year-old winger has agreed to an eight-year extension with the Canadiens. The contract is worth a total of $60.8 million, carrying an average annual value (AAV) of $7.6 million. The extension is set to begin with the 2025-26 season and will keep the former first-overall pick in Montreal through the 2032-33 campaign. The newly confirmed no-trade protection grants Slafkovsky significant control over potential destinations during the final three seasons of the long-term commitment.
Slafkovsky is coming off a productive 2023-24 season in which he appeared in all 82 games, recording 20 goals and 30 assists for 50 points. His performance solidified his role on Montreal's top line alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This extension ensures that the Canadiens' primary offensive core remains under contract for the foreseeable future.
