The first pick of the 2022 draft, Juraj Slafkovsky, was the special guest on The Raw Knuckles Podcast. He discussed his first year in the NHL as well as his perspective during the last draft.
After a short season of 39 games, the Slovak scored four goals and accumulated six assists, giving him a total of 10 points in 2022-23.
The Canadiens' rookie also mentioned that he would have been happy just being drafted, but being the first pick was a shock to him, considering he had only been ranked first once, in a prediction made about a month before this important day.
