The individual accolades have rained over Juraj Slafkovský this season. Olympic MVP. All-star. Best goal-scorer and most points. The Olympics really were a coming-out party for the big winger, but he has been relatively quiet on the domestic front with TPS, only managing 10 points (5G, 5A) in 31 games, with a slightly better production in the playoffs of seven points (2G, 5A) in 18 games.
He has spent the last three seasons in Finland with one of the top clubs, and his stock in the domestic league has been improving steadily. However, it is at international level that Slafkovský has stood out, and it will be at that level that his final draft position will be determined as he will be included on the Slovak team going to the World Championship.
