There are high hopes for Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky. The 2022 first-round pick is expected to be an integral part of the team’s future success. Although 2022-23 was a forgettable campaign (for the entire club), 2023-24 showed flashes of Slafkovsky’s brilliance. However, it hasn’t fully carried over into 2024-25. Why and what should the team do about it? There is no shortage of players who can tally 50 points in an 82-game season. In 2023-24, 135 players registered that or more.
