Prospect Info: [2022 - 1st] Juraj Slafkovsky

[Tad Mikowsky]

Grats Habs fans, hopefully he pans out. Dude looks like a monster.

 

[Kojo]

I actually like the pick.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Great pic, and the right pic for you guys. Wright is overhyped he's a future mediocre 2C Great 3C

 

[Frank Drebin]

A poster had mentioned that Hughes knew Wright/Cooley for the past 6 or 7 years. They must have saw something more with Slav.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I WILL SUPPORT JURAJ SLAFKOVSKY WITH ALL MY HEART THIS IS OUR GUY BOYS​

 

[Ezpz]

The least consensus first overall I can remember. I'm not going to call him a bust or boo him. I hope he proves HuGo right. They're going to get fired for sure if he doesn't.

 

[Seb]

He will forever be compared to Shane Wright. Let's hope they made the right pick.

 

[Chili]

I've been on the Wright band wagon all along but listening to his interviews I have to wonder if he would have had trouble with the pressures of the market. That had to be a consideration. Ideally they could have drafted both. I think they definitely want to add some size to the lineup.

 

[caufieldbeerman]

We gave the new-jersey Devils the Center we've been waiting for since Vincent Damphousse Im disapointed we will never get that no.1 center never never we're cursed

 

[FLHabs]

Well he's a Habs now!! Let's all root for him and hope he become
Rantanen 2.0!!!! Let's gooo, GHG!!!

 

[Canadienna]

Anyone unhappy with the pick can blame Adam Michaels for bringing into being.

 

[MasterD]

The whole draft community said Slaf is a top 3 pick, we’ll be fine. He’ll be a great player, doesn’t matter what Wright becomes or doesn’t become

 

[NotProkofievian]

Wright was my guy, but I'm really excited about Juraj going forward. He's a kind of forward that we've never really had before, and it's a brand new direction.

 

[ottawa]

This seemed like a 1a and 1b pick...you always go with the center but HuGo must have seen something to push them towards Slaf. Just have to support them on that and hope he develops into a beast.

 

[PavelBrendl]

It takes balls!

Worried Wright might burn us down the road, but I’m here for the Slaf era.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Read this everyone. He will bust. Im not even worried. Make this message Sticky. Im not even scared.

 

[DXStriker]

Happy for him and like the player but passing a Center is a big move

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

HE LOOKS LIKE A STUD JAGR LIKE NOTHING LIKE SQUARE HEAD WRIGHT THIS IS OUR GUY BOYS

 

[Tonneau]

Wright's sense of entitlement combined with his uninspired play had me worried tbh. Who the hell is he to say that he deserves to go first overall after the season he had?

I have no idea who'll be the best player out of this draft, but Wright's attitude is concerning to say the least.

 

[Garbageyuk]

After that Shane Wright “Montreal is a shithole“ tweet went public, It’s not surprising they didn’t take him.

When did he say that? I knew I didn’t like his interview at the combine, could tell he was putting on a front. He’s lazy and soft too. Glad they didn’t pick him.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Jean Perron called it!

 

[NicRattlehead]

he better not bust

It’ll be very toxic quick if he doesn’t start out great. Especially if Wright ends up doing well.

What? When did he post that? Source?

Super not happy with this pick, but hope for the best.
