Prospect Info: [2022 - 1st] Juraj Slafkovsky

[willzyix]

I have serious doubts about Slaf's hockey IQ, but f*** it. Welcome aboard I guess, and I hope he turns into the next Jagr cause we desperately need high end talent lol. Least the org has balls.

 

[Angler]

I thought Wright was the pick but I will always cheer for the Habs. I am 100% behind Slaf, I hope he hits his potential. After adding him and Dach, it’s a 6’5” winger and 6’4” Center

man I hope this pick works out im a bit conflicted but dont really know the prospects well

 

[BLONG7]

We get a real good player here, but thought we should have picked the C...................but 3 teams passed on Wright? Why?
Anyhow, this Slaf kid is huge, and confident..............

This is 10000% fake lmaaaaaaaaaao I hope its not tho

Juraj looks like a Young Jagr absolute HORSE idk man im kind of excited now...

 

[Ezpz]

I'm kind of concerned that it feels like Slaf moved up because of Wright's stock dropping instead of the other way around. It makes me feel like there were no first overall-worthy options and we're about to get Yakupov'd.

When you hear Wright speak he seems so awkward.When big Slafkovsky spoke, you couldn't help but feel the enthusiasm and energy.

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

This is the NHL not Toastmasters.

6'4" Yakupov

I am disappointed to say the least.

 

[No More Subban]

I feel awful.

Slaf, make us eat a lot of crow.

 

[ohiohabsfan29]

6'4" Yakupov

I am disappointed to say the least.

Yakupov might be better.

 

[Tuggy]

I'm trying to get myself excited about this pick.

I mean he was the #1 prospect on plenty of lists...so that's something.

Trying...

 

[BergevinBurner]

The fact that 2 other teams passed on Wright helps to ease my nerves a little.
At least if Wright pans out, we're not the only team left looking stupid

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

6'4" Yakupov

I am disappointed to say the least.

Yakapov was a douche tho. I'm willing to wait and see. Especially with Suzuki and Caufield, I wonder what they can create. Also HuGo must've thought Wright wasn't dynamic enough to manage his own line

 

[LeHab]

My expectations are very low as usual for a draft.

Low expectations = Never disappointed.

 

[ohiohabsfan29]

This is the NHL not Toastmasters.

Exactly, if we're drafting dynamic speakers draft The Rock. He probably would have dominated the nobodies in the Olympics too.

 

[Max2]

This is the NHL not Toastmasters.

But positive energy and enthusiasm is something that other players feed off and I can't see many players want to play with a guy like Wright who doesn't seem to care and gives off the energy of wet bread

I mean on the other hand, the top 3 Centres next draft are better than Wright so there's that

 

[Nedved]

He's a BEAST.

Perfect for Suzuki and Caufield!

he's not smart enough to play with these guys.

Just listening to the interviews, liked what I heard from Slaf. Sounds mature and he'll need to be to have a chance in this market. I got the sense that he has a better chance to succeed here then Wright. Got the sense all the pressure and scrutiny of the last few years has worn Wright down some. Maybe the best thing for him to go to a less pressurized market.
