Juraj Slafkovsky Absolutely Dominates a Specific Category and It Bodes Well for His Career
The 19-year-old winger, Juraj Slafkovsky, chosen first overall in the 2022 Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, remains an enigma for many people. With a physique as imposing as his at such a young age, coupled with his offensive talents, the NHL has rarely seen a player like Juraj Slafkovsky before.
The Twitter account, Big Head Hockey, recently posted a table related to an interesting statistic.
Here is the list of forwards over 235 pounds and at least 6 feet 3 inches who accumulated the most points during the 2022-2023 season.
Now, let's look at the statistics of these players at the age of 18 in the NHL:
Indeed, Juraj Slafkovsky dominates this category by far when we take his age into account. He was the only one in his category to lace up in the NHL at 18 years old.
This clearly means that patience will be key for Tricolore fans, and we simply need to let the young Slovak develop at his own pace with the club.
