The 6-4 225 lb Juraj Slafkovsky is from Slovakia, but plays for TPS in Finland. Slafkovsky impressed in the World Junior Championships last year before earning a promotion from the TPS Under 18-Team to the TPS Under 20-Team where he had 8 goals, 5 assists, 13 points, and a +4 +/- ratio in 16 regular season games for the TPS Under 20-Team in 2020-2021. Slovakia has made the biggest statement at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup defeating USA 5-2 before embarassing Germany 12-2. Juraj Slafkovsky is playing like a man on mission determined to crack the top 5. Slafkovsky had 5 goals, 5 assists, and 10 points in 31 regular season games against men in Finland in his 31 career Liiga games. Slafkovsky showcased the versatility to play left wing, center, and right wing mainly lining up as a second line right winger on a TPS team that made the Championship round in Liiga where he had 2 goals, 5 assists, and 7 points in 18 Playoff games. Slafkovsky is now considered the consensus top International prospect in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and the favorite to be drafted second overall by the New Jersey Devils where he'd be a second line winger at either left wing or right wing.
