DRAFT COMBINE | Juraj Slafkovsky

Juraj Slafvosky talks to media following his interviews with teams at the 2022 NHL Scouting Combine.

[@nickwick35]

After watching this interview, I’m sold! Kid is confident, funny, and wants to win. Bring him to Jersey!

[@jerryczech953]

I thunk MONTREAL is taking him

[@justice4all526]

I think so also. 👌 To devils.

[@jbp4.0]

Fuhgeddaboutit, the Habs are taking him First.😉. Seriously, although the Habs are no doubt giving serious thought to taking this Lad First overall, I don't think the Habs can pass on a Center like Wright. This Guy will make an impact with NJ right away.

[@simonmasson-dupras3946]

there is no way you are not confident if you are going to get draft top 3

[@justinnault6744]

If the habs somehow trade for the 2nd overall pick while keeping the 1rst I’d be so happy for them

[@mcgamersk8509]

To je náš Slafkovský😁🇸🇰. Má veľký talent. Vedel som že ho budú chcieť v NHL. (That’s our Slafkovský He has a great talent. I knew they would want him in NHL)

[@pavolsadlon7183]

Juraj is not only a great ice hockey player but also smart, humble, goal oriented with excellent moral qualities. He seems to be a lot of fun to be around as well. I wish him personally only the best in his future endeavours and no matter which team he will be picked for I am convinced he does well.

[@MrSharkFIN]

Yeah, great personality. Really funny and a great guy to have in the locker room.

[@user-km2tw2uv5x]

Slafkovský is I feel like exactly what this team needs. He showed his talent at the Olympics :)!!

[@justice4all526]

Probably something like that. 👍

[@pritok6]

he also had 9 points in 8 games during world championship and he played like regular nhler in game against canada (his zone entry was similar to top players of the league)

[@headsuphockeypodcast2707]

He’s Devils material: Big, physical, fast, puck protector, winger, center, level headed, determined, brave.

[@kubasmutek9906]

i think hes not a center

Nice guy with a humble, yet confident attitude. Got the skills for the game. I really hope he'll survive the pressure cooker that is Montreal.

[@tydzej6986]

I’m convinced that this guy is what Jersey needs. He is confident, young, smart, brave, funny, goal-hungry, built big and he was raised very well by really great parents- great combo.

[@snfriedm]

Love this kid! Cool, calm, collected, and seems like a fun guy to have in the locker room!

[@invisibl3enemy]

Excited to see him in Montreal.. let's go!!

[@celluloidtherapy5003]

As a Devils fan, I am growing increasingly concerned that the Habs might pick this young man first overall. Honestly, if Wright falls to New Jersey, how could you possibly complain? This guy is something NJ DESPERATELY needs….

[@diskom1no]

Thanks God Montreal will pick Canadian as always. Slafkovsky is better option for NJ than Wright.

[@benozkleenex]

I think we really like slaf but no way we pass on wright and he fills one of our biggest need.

[@jerryczech953]

I think SLAFKOVSKY is new JAGR..........................Montreal would tak ehim

[@benozkleenex]

Lol I still want wright at first but man this kid look like a player that will be loved everywhere he goes.

[@46allfreed]

Why Wright? He played only with kids, Juraj played in Finland senior League , world cup and Olympic games this season. If Juraj was trom Canada je would be definetely n.1

[@benozkleenex]

@@46allfreed i mean there is some 20 year old in the OHL so not only kid, in the liiga juraj did nothing crazy and while he played really good in those tournaments hard to base judgement on an handfull of games where he scored points against the team that are probably weaker than a Chl club like france or italy. Wright is just a more complete player that has an amazing ceiling and also fills a need that the CH has.

[@auri5459]

@@benozkleenex Wright is also playing with players that were great before he played with them so his points might be a bit too inflated, to me Wright gameplay gives me the same impression of Slafkovsky but slower. I think Wright is overrated
