The Montreal Canadiens aren't too worried about their contracts in 2024-25 with their current situation. The Canadiens have nearly $8 million in cap space and don't look like they are acquiring any players despite rumors about Patrik Laine. They have no plans of competing for a playoff spot, so they don't need to keep space open for a trade deadline acquisition. (Although, that can change very quickly)
The Canadiens can look ahead at the upcoming years and see how some contracts will set them up as contenders. The long-term deals to Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky will look like steals when they are a contending team but don't have as much value right now. Let's look at some of the best contracts on the Canadiens this season.
