A former Canadiens scout makes a shocking statement about Juraj Slafkovsky
Juraj Slafkovsky needs no introduction. The first pick in the last draft is slowly making his way in the NHL and there are more and more good sequences in his game. It's not easy to arrive in the best league in the world at 18 years old, even less when you are used to playing on international rinks.
Former CH scout Grant McCagg shared a video of Slafkovsky in the last game against the Blue Jackets. According to him, the last 18-year-old with this much power in puck protection was Eric Lindros.McCagg even goes so far as to say that Jaromir Jagr wasn't that dominant until he was about 20 years old. In short, Slaf is bound to be the ideal linemate for Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield when he's mature enough.
