2024 Fantasy Outlook
When you tally 20 goals and 50 points, including 14 power-play points, in your first full NHL season, you generally get rewarded with a sizable NHL contract. That was the case for Slafkovsky, who signed a max-length eight-year, $60.8 million contract extension with the Canadiens this offseason. Based on his new deal, the team appears to be expecting even bigger things out of the 20-year-old power forward, something that certainly isn't out of the question - though he will need to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump. Barring that potential slump, Slafkovsky should be capable of producing at an elite level heading into the 2024-25 campaign, making him a top-end fantasy target. Read Past Outlooks

Two points in overtime win
LWMontreal Canadiens
March 4, 2025
Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal on three shots, dished an assist and added four hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
ANALYSIS
Slafkovsky stretched the Canadiens' lead to 3-0 with a first-period tally. When that advantage didn't hold, he set up Mike Matheson's game-winning goal in overtime. Slafkovsky had gone 11 games without a multi-point effort entering Monday. He's turning into a multi-category force with six points, 15 shots and 28 hits over his last six outings. For the season, the 20-year-old winger has 11 goals, 35 points (eight on the power play), 86 shots, 148 hits and a minus-7 rating through 58 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Slafkovsky began the season in Montreal as an 18-year-old. He missed three games early on with an upper-body injury and then was suspended for two games. He appeared in 39 of the first 44 games for the club before a lower-body ailment ended his year. Slafkovsky finished with four goals and 10 points. It's far too soon to call Slafkovsky a bust, but after seeing what guys like Logan Cooley and David Jiricek did a season ago, albeit not in the NHL, the early returns aren't great. That said, there's never been a No. 1 overall pick that isn't supremely talented, so Slafkovsky will get a chance to rebound in 2023-24. He remains an intriguing keeper and dynasty league asset.
Few had Slafkovsky pegged as a top-five pick for the 2022 draft at the start of last season. By the time all was said and done, he ended up passing Shane Wright and going No. 1 overall to Montreal. Slafkovsky played last season with TPS in Finland (5 goals, 10 points in 31 games) in addition to being named MVP of the Olympics while playing for his native Slovakia. He's a massive (6-foot-4) kid with excellent hands and a big shot, but he won't turn 19 years old until the end of March, so it's entirely possible he won't have legitimate redraft value until 2022-23. However, he's a top-tier pick in all keeper/dynasty formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Left off Olympic squad
LWMontreal Canadiens
August 19, 2024
Slafkovsky was not included in Slovakia's roster for Olympic qualifying contests, Szymon Szemberg of the Alliance of European Hockey Clubs reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Slafkovsky suited up in seven games for Slovakia at the 2022 Winter Olympics in which he racked up seven goals, which makes it a bit of a surprise that he won't be joining the international squad this time around. It's possible the Canadiens didn't want the 20-year-old winger to play internationally after signing him to an eight-year, $60.8 million deal in the offseason.
