Europe's top draft prospect, Juraj Slafkovsky, spoke to La Presse today.
Slafkovsky said he is very aware of what is being said about him in Montreal and mentioned that he would like to join the existing duo of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield
I think I'm the biggest of the three. They need someone bigger to get the pucks. And they're really skilled players. It would be a good combination.
The young player also told a story that included Cole Caufield.
We were losing like 4-1, we came face to face for a face-off in the neutral zone. He said something to me like, "You could become a good player."
The big Slovak told of the interviews he had with the Habs.
I was like, "Wow, this is good. I was happy to talk to them for another hour, we talked about how they see me, how I see my game.
.
The Canadiens knew a lot about him.
For example, they knew where on the ice I get hit the most. So I thought, "But how do they know that?" It made me realize that it's true that I get hit there a lot. I was happy to hear that!
