Since we've gotten to know Juraj Slafkovsky, we've discovered a young man full of confidence and charisma, with an impeccable attitude and a touch of humor. It's all to his credit, and it's not surprising that the Canadiens made him their first overall choice.
However, what the Slovak reveals and what he feels are two very different things. While on Chris Nilan's podcast, Raw Knuckles, Slaf was willing to express what he felt from the NHL executives during pre-draft interviews, that is, coldness and little interest.
How can a young player who is perceived as a future high draft pick feel this way? According to him, the confidence was completely gone, and he wondered if he would simply be drafted at all.
