In the last few minutes, popular TSN host Shawn Simpson, who normally focuses on Ottawa Sens activities, just said this:
"I'm told the Tricolore will send Slafkovsky to the CHL this year. (in juniors) What a smart move that would be for the player."
It's a post that caused a tsunami of reaction on social media, but it's also a piece of information that was quickly denied:
"This information is incorrect.
Kent Hughes mentioned Laval or Montreal.
However, Filip Mesar could end up in the CHL this year." - Marco D'Amico "Not sure about this one." - Nicolas Cloutier, TVA Sports
So you have to be careful with what is currently circulating. It's not true, Juraj Slafkovsky is not going to the CHL (in the OHL).
On the other hand, his Slovakian compatriot, Filip Mesar, the CH's other first round pick in 2022, could play with the Kitchener Rangers in the Canadian Hockey League.
For those who wonder who owns the rights to Slaf:
We are already looking forward to October!
