Prospect Info: [2022 - 1st] Juraj Slafkovsky

[Matthew McConaughay]

Lol Slaf, better be good, because the Habs will loose a lot of fans.

 

[Justin11]

This was not my pick but let’s get behind the kid.

 

[morhilane]

I don't get the pick, but I don't hate Slaf. I just hope MSL know how to put IQ into his brain, because it's like he learned to play hockey this year (he advanced fast, but he basically went from 0% to 50%, doing the other 50% is harder).

 

[mikeyz]

What? When did he post that? Source?

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

Look at the first page of the thread. Someone already posted it.

 

[Lebowski]

HF loved the Chucky and KK pick and hated on Brady Tkachuk for months prior to the draft… Wait and see is my approach on this one. Big skilled winger, can’t be mad at that in the end.

[JeffreyLFC]

Hughes did his due diligence. Only time will tell.

 

[Et le But]

Kotkamiemi - .5 PPG in SM-Liiga

Slafkovsky - .3 PPG in SM-Liiga

But hey, he dominated Kazakhstan in the Olympics.

 

[Kennedys]

A large portion of our fanbase is stupid enough to boo him on his first preseason shift

 

[Goalfield13]

I for one welcome our new Slovakian overlords.

[Eye of Ra]

everyone who laughed at me for saying montreal should do this....

i told you guys, wright is overated

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Worried about a Slovak to be honest. What great talent have they produced in the past 10 years in the NHL?

[Mr Kot]

So is that tweet by wright real? If so, what are the chances he gets booed to high hell when he plays against habs.

Let's just assume Hughes, Gorton and the scouting staff have done a thorough research and analysis about the three main prospects. And that Slaf will be way better than KK or Galchenyuk.

The kid is very confident in himself. Let's now wait and see how it is going to show on the ice. Not the safest pick for sure. Hopefully he will become a good complement to Suzuki and Caufield.

Sad for Wright who was cheered when he arrived at the Bell ad who thought since months, if not years, that he would be #1 in 2022.

Wright will

Well.. i swung and missed on #1 pick... and while Ive always liked slaf, i was more annoyed that we have to witness wrights entire career, a wouldve couldve.. like is Slaf the next wickenheiser?..

But now that Jersey takes NEMEC, we never have to hear the Wright comments, as hes been passed by "at least" 2 teams.

Wow, something must be glaring that we cant see.

Wright will be Arizona's pick for sure. Good for them to re-start their franchise.

Well if he doesnt become an Ovechkin winger i for 1 will call it a bust.

100 % sure it is not.

 

[TheYardMachine]

What a disaster!
Lets hope to at least get 60 points/season and thats very optimistic

 

[boompuffboom]

FOU RAIDE!

If he can become at least a Kreider or a Thatchuk, that would be already awesome.

Wright will be Arizona's pick for sure. Good for them to re-start their franchise.

Wth is wrong w/ Wright?
Or do we swoop in and trade for him now

 

[Kriss E]

This is what will determine if these guys are brilliant or dumb AF.
They have balls, I'll give em that.

 

[River Meadow]

He's a BEAST.

Perfect for Suzuki and Caufield!

Gorton loves them big.... Kakko, Kravstov, Lafreniere....

He's a BEAST.

Perfect for Suzuki and Caufield!

Hopefully.

Wow. Wright, not even top-3. !!!! So Habs are not the only org to have strong doubts about him. But I am sure , the kid will play his heart out to prove all them wrong in the future.
