Juraj Slafkovsky named as assistant to captain Nick Suzuki? Eric Engels confirms this serious possibility
See what the Sportsnet journalist mentioned in his most recent article.
He was asked if he believes Slafkovsky has the potential to become an assistant to captain Nick Suzuki, and here is his response.
«I absolutely believe it!
But Slafkovsky doesn't need this official designation to be considered a leader. I think he has already demonstrated that he is a natural leader � both in Montreal and in international competition for Slovakia � and the qualities that make him such will only become more prominent as he grows.»
- Eric Engels
Wow! What an addition for the Montreal Canadiens and what a home run with this first overall pick!
Slafkovsky, 20 years old, has amassed 20 goals and 50 points this season with the Montreal Canadiens, and he truly seems to be on his way to becoming one of the best wingers in the world.
