In the last few hours, we have had fresh news about the Montreal Canadiens' first overall pick, Juraj Slafkovsky, as he announced his verdict for the WJC:

"The main goal (for Juraj) is to play in the NHL starting in October. He needs 6-8 weeks of summer training. For this reason, he will skip the World Junior Championship in Edmonton. He will arrive in Montreal in the middle of August." - Tomas Prokop

Interesting! So please note that Slafkovsky will be in town in a few weeks (mid-August) and will not be competing in the World Junior Championship.

It's a shame for the fans and obviously, very shameful for Slovakia, but if it's desirable for the Montreal Canadiens, then so much the better! That's really what's important, in the end.
