ESPN's controversial prediction for Juraj Slafkovsky

ESPN has made some predictions about several Montreal Canadiens players for the upcoming season.

First, the popular TV network believes that Nick Suzuki will score 76 points next season. As for the team's other star player, Cole Caufield, he should score 29 goals, six more than last year. Is that enough or unrealistic?

As for Juraj Slafkovsky, unfortunately, ESPN is predicting a catastrophic year, with 24 points in 62 games. As my colleague Jean-Benoît Gagné of GoHabsGo reports, that's 10 points less than Jesperi Kotkaniemi in his first season with the CH.

Finally, ESPN believes that Josh Anderson will get 35 points, while Kirby Dach should get 32.
