Juraj Slafkovsky's progression this season is truly impressive. We know he worked hard during the summer, especially to improve his breathing, but no one expected it to be so noticeable.
Indeed, the first two months were not very easy for the 19-year-old, but since then, he has been continuously impressive. He has transformed from a player who might have been a good candidate for the Rocket to an indispensable part of the Canadiens' top 6.
Nothing is left to chance; Juraj works very hard to improve, and he remains hungry. Just this Thursday morning, he arrived on the Brossard ice 25 minutes before his teammates to practice his shots with Dr. Shot.
With eight points in the last eight games and two beautiful goals in the last match, Slaf is not satisfied, and he wants even more. That's what sets him apart from other young players in his draft year. He doesn't rely solely on his talent; he works tirelessly.
