From what I’ve heard, he’s signed until 2022 and doesn’t have an out-clause. But who knows. Sometimes these things are said but then the player moves to the CHL anyway.

TPS forward group is not that deep so i feel he should be able to fight for a top6 spot next season. So i see no reason for him to go to CHL.
He hasn't played for the TPS U20s since the World Juniors, they have played 4 games since the tournament ended.
Finally played game yesterday and scored 2 goals in PP
Another 2 goal game in the Finnish U20 league. This time vs HPK.
Slovakia beat Czech Republic 5-2. Juraj with 2 goals and assist. Here you can see both of his goals.
I never thought Slovakia hockey could return and match the level of the Czech Republic. It’s still early but at least with this new generation there is hope
Both teams are missing some players. Czech team was really bad defensively today which is understandable. They are without Svozil, Jiříček, Hamara, Moravec. We(Slovaks) are without our no.1 goalie and forwards like Myklukha, Mesar, Kaslik, Kolenic, Jedlicka or Faith. And defender Stacha from Vancouver Giants. But still, its a solid victory.
Lots of good players missing for both sides for sure. Myklukha I don't consider to be a big loss . He is not making any noise in the Q this season, not impressive.

He always performing well in national jersey. He was our best faceoff guy at the WJC. He just need to play as a center because as a wing he's 50%.

I saw both of his performances against Czech U20, his 3+3 is fully deserved, he dominated in every shift. He really really impressed me, not only with his improved skating also his stickhandling ability is amazing. Add his size and strenght and don´t tell me he isn´t 1st round pick. He really is. I expect Slafkovsky will make Slovak national team in upcoming senior´s WC, he is that good!
For me personally he is still the top 15 for next year's draft. A very dominant performance from him and more and more I can't wait for the summer and HGC. I think he's going to have a big tournament And the Slovak team will be really competitive for everyone.
He has all the tools to become 1st rounder but the draft is next year so we will see how good the next season will be. We have seen many disappointments when expectations were high

He should stay in Finland. But in case he will not play for men i think he will move to CHL.
He was definitely really good and the points prove that. But at first I was a bit disappointed – he kept shooting pucks into traffic again and again, doing nothing to give himself a better angle etc. He obviously improved and he’s a high-end prospect, but I think he still has work to do. He dominated on a relatively weak team against a relatively weak team.
No idea, but: I’m usually a fan of top Euros going to the CHL, but in this case I think he 100% has to stay in Europe and play pro. Question is if he will get that chance with TPS?
Maybe you are right but there were players on both sides which are already drafted and were not so dominant, I am not taking into account that he played against 2 years older players.
When he would have been dominating in "stronger" team would you say that he was so effective due to his teammates?
