If that guys reach his potential , he is going to be really good
Bruh that’s not just impressive, that’s elite. Gotta use this terminology for him. Elite stick handling.
Welcome to Montreal!!
Great analysis. I honestly do think he's got pretty good hockey IQ, which will be the "make or break" for him in the NHL as an elite level player or average top 6. More often than not he gets a good pass off or is able to generate a good shot for himself. I think he's a safe pick with a high ceiling. Needs one more year in Liiga next year and that's really when we'll be able to get a good read on him.
Nice breakdown. Appreciate the depth of your analysis.
Agreed. Interesting video. I wonder how he compares to Lafreniere...
@@preppen78 I kind of get worse Kakko prospect vibes. Doesn't mean he'll translate worse but it does worry me
excellente analyse pour son board play. On peut deja voir que ces une de ses forces dans la nlh a 19 ans. Good shot also and very good hockey IQ in evidence when playing with Suzuki and Caufield. Very good young first line.
thanks David great video!!!
What a great pickup for MTL. Watched shane highlights i could see why St Louis and Kent hughes likes Juraj hes more offensive Wright may be too passive and slow for what team the habs want to build
that backhand spin move was dirty. fuckin hell this kids gonna be nuts
I know its a stretch...but there is a little Jagr in this kid's game...strong on the puck, silky hands, tall, creative...
🐐
Reminds me of Armia and a bit of Sanford, makes me unsure that he'll pan out, but I very much like his game. Great video as always, David! :)
Thank you :)
Future Devil 😍
Rip
Rip he is a mtl canadiens
Wright got 4 for a reason ....
Sorry 🥶👻👹
😅 didnt age well
in my opinion he is a really great player for his age. his skill level is pretty high but there are for sure some improvements he could make
Somewhat like Jagr after he peaked (think Jagr at 38 years old). Still, the kid will get better and could still be growing! Best all around skill level in the draft.
Slaks skills and size will improve both Sak and Cole's Arsenal of offensive weaponry with Montreal. This line will pile up the goals and points under Marty's system this
Thanks David, I agree with your analysis, he has improved a lot during the year, at Hlinka he was losing the puck for nothing (eye movement concerns), at U20 WC he was still having heavy foots, but now, he seems to have corrected his foot step and puck control and even show handling skills, he plays with great confidence. I was projecting him as an AHL/NHL bottom line forward but hes now trending more as a middle line forward, not sure yet about his top ceilling. He's big and strong so will probably be rushed into the nhl if drafted by a bad development team like Montréal, maybe a couple of hit to the head or bad injurys will slow him down as it usually happen to NHL rushed prospects. I hope for him that the team that will draft him will let him dominate in finland and so on in the AHL, no problems to wait for that guy 3-4 years if he improve as he did this year, this guy have the ability to works on his flaws and he can surprise us in the future.
You do know the Habs changed their whole management staff right?
You must be a leaf fan
@@licmysak7842 Sorry but I could have named the Rangers too, under Jeff Gorton they were very bad for players development, and its one of the reasons why Gorton have been fired. Kakko and Lafrenière are strugling and what to say about Lias Anderson, Vitali Kravtsov, Day, Grop, Alverson, Tambellini... its a total mess . So dont expect Montréal to be better in development. Even if Gorton is in place since a while, he still doesn't do anything for a development department. You can already see that Gorton and Hugues are draft oriented and not development oriented. The other big problem in Montréal is the media pressure, each training camps the medias are pressuring the hockey department to keep one or several unready youngster in the line up, so when the kids are not developing well, the media can criticize the kids, its the way the sports media do their business in Montréal. Lately they've done it with Drouin, Galchenyuk, KK, Romanov, even Caufield! its very sad for the kids to see that but Montreal is not a good environment to develop players and the last 25 years have proven it. Sorry like's the habs but we need to see the evidences.
@@genestdaniel9882 Thats may be the reason why they are in the playoff lmao
@@N1GHT25 If you talk about Rangers, Gorton took the Rangers as a GM one year after they've lost in stanley cup finals, and bring them to the bottom. Chris Drury have done a good job so far but its still Shesterkin year. At long term, its sure to have failed to develop so many prospects will have an impact, surely.
good call on him possibly number one for "some teams"
The Olympics were great for him to showcase offensive game which he hadn’t been able to do
Montreal gotta pick Slafkovsky at 1st, Wright is good but lacking confidence and his skating is not as smooth as Slafkovsky skating.
You called it bro!
Slapshotsky!
At the start of the year i thought he was "meh". But with the improvements he's made I think he could develop into a M.Tkachuk type player in the offensive zone, just maybe not quite as good around the net as Tkachuk.
More like a Mikko Rantanen for me
no way
@@sb0182 czcams.com/video/bechCn_VrG4/video.html He doesn’t have anywhere the instincts and passing of Rantanen. Watch that Slafkovsky scouting video.
@@Asshat237
I’ve watched enough footage of Slafkovsky to know he DOES have that playmaking ability Rantanen has.
@@sb0182 oh for real? You really convinced me. I am gonna take the word of a clown youtube commenter over that of a former professional scout.
Top 4 for me in this draft
Reminds me of Sean Monahan of how much he stands out to all other players around him
One thing is for sure, he doesn’t look like a 17/18 playing with grownups men, even though he is.
Let's just say I wouldn't want to be the GM that passed on Slafkovský.
Happily no GM had to !
@@maximeremillard7036 So glad he's a hab!
I wish the Sens could draft this guy
Would be amazing next to Timmy Stu!!!! But would have to trade to which I have heard rumors of but we shall see come draft day (later today!)
Still in shock about the draft lol
And he carries the puck with his head down sometimes oups
🤞🏼Sabres … even if they have to trade up to get him, I see this kid as the final piece to a juggernaut squad.
What are the other pieces?
@@logankeckes9981 Glad you asked…these are the names and height of the players that would potentially make up the biggest NHL team in average height; that hopefully includes Slafkovsky.
Thompson 6’7”
Power 6’6”
UPL(Goalie) 6’5”
Samuelson 6’4”
Slafkovsky 6’4”
Tuch 6’4”
Jankowski 6’4”
Cozens 6’3”
Hayden 6’3”
Dahlin 6’3”
He appears to be a younger version of Tage Thompson.
He’ll be gone by 2nd overall.
I don’t think the Sabres have a chance at landing him
@@sb0182 so Iv heard
Les Habitants
NUMBER ONE !!! ....if you miss on Slavkovsky ,you end up like Brian Burke with JAGR in 1990 NHL draft..............:-)
he cant go No 5.........
Armiakovsky
So the Sabres will draft him sweet
I get a Anderson and Armia vibe with Slaf, , let's hope i'm wrong.
Anderson with an actual elite hockeyIQ, (and much, MUCH better hands), yes.
Armia with an actual work ethic & intensity, yes.
BOTH of which would put up 70-80pts had they got those added attritbutes.
I’ll take that any day of the week 😂🤷♂️
this guy dominates kids thats about it.
if a guy is a kid and dominates kids, chances are, he will one day dominate men, when those kids become men... right? uh... that's why they're called prospects...
Reminds me of "prime" Milan Lucic....unplayable.
No1 overall. Deservedly.
Good morning. My name is Eldar and I represent a young hockey player from a BCHL team. I have an 8 minute highlight video with the best moments from his current season. I would like to discuss an opportunity to place it (or partially) on your channel.
Now he’s a fucking bust!
What’s the point in imitating a Montreal fan? I don’t understand
What happened 😂
he is not really fast
