F Juraj Slafkovsky - TPS, Finland U20 (2022 Draft)

[tobu]

Scored game winner and added an empty netter. 7 games, 7 goals, bronze for Slovakia. Must be MVP!

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Skates pretty well. High-end hands. Good shot. Has some power moves. Tools are there for a top-line NHLer, forsure. Same could be said for Nichuskin and many more though. Let’s see where this goes.

 

[Antiillafire]

He has to be MVP, without him we don’t even get out of qualification match.

Grant has no relevance to me

 

[MichaelFarrell]

You have to be happy for the guy. To preform like he did this tournament, at 17, and to get 2 more goals in a medal game is amazing. Congrats to Slovakia.

Hes far better than those hacks Pronman and Wheeler.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with his rankings, but I trust him more than those two clowns.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Clearly the greatest of all the Slafkovskys.

Congrats to the kid on a fantastic showing.

Coming out party!

I wonder if this translates to a bigger role on TPS?

His performance was something very hard to ignore. I expect TPS front office to give him more TOI and bigger role. Majority of Finnish Liiga-fans, sport commentators and Finnish media probably expect that too knowing he truly deserved some kind of promotion in TPS.

Sounds like he is going to probably be #2 behind Wright. Kind of like the Mathews/Laine draft

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

But how does he compare to Michael McLeod?

And Habs gonna pick the wrong one !

just let them draft another smurf

 

[1909]

just let them draft another smurf

The only 1st round "smurf" they drafted in the last 15 years is Caufield.

 

[Walrus26]

I think a whole new fleet of carriages needs to be added on his hype train now.

 

[Riggins]

Grant has no relevance to me

He just saw Slafkovsy play for the first time so now he's #1

 

[Ivo]

I was really hoping the Bruins might snag him mid-first round, if he slips a bit in the draft. Yeah, I can forget about that notion.

Slafkovsky's comment on his today's first goal: " If the luck is on your side you can score even from a buffet. As I've waited in a queue for a hotdog I got lucky."

 

[Osakahaus]

this kid has just been a dynamo during the olympics. You couldn't ask for a better performance as a U-18 player in the OLYMPICS nonetheless

Dang, he’s a big kid too…6’3” at 17 is no joke. NHL big man frame already.
