Unexpected Position Change for Juraj Slafkovsky? Nick Suzuki Confirms the Rumor About Him
An unexpected piece of news has surfaced in the last few hours regarding Juraj Slafkovsky.
The young Montreal Canadiens forward participated in a truly surprising drill with all the team's center players.
The players participating: Condotta, Suzuki, Newhook, Evans, Dvorak, Dach and... Slafkovsky.
Slaf auditioning soon at the center?" - Marc-Olivier Cook
Here are the images:
This situation really caused a surprise, because the big Slovak is truly the only intruder among the players participating in a special training session in the face-off circle with former Habs player Marc Bureau.
Juraj Slafkovsky soon to be used as a center for the Canadiens?
This really seems to be part of the Montreal organization's plans.
Moreover, Nick Suzuki even confirmed an important detail about the first overall pick in 2022, in an interview after the training session in question.
The excellent Tony Marinaro put forward this possibility on TVA Sports, in response to the fact that Kirby Dach might not be the club's second center of the future.
We also know that Maxime Truman has repeatedly said that he would like to see Juraj Slafkovsky play at center because of his imposing size, and I would add that his ability to make plays could allow him to become an interesting pivot in the NHL.
This will be an interesting development to follow closely for the Canadiens.
