Juraj Slafkovsky (#60) is widely considered to be the best Slovakian-born forward prospect since sniper Marian Gaborik went third overall in the 2000 NHL draft. The 6-foot-4, 218-pound power forward is a left shot who is listed as a center by NHL Central Scouting but has played the entire season on the wing at multiple levels.
Built solidly but blessed with magical hands, creativity, and a high hockey IQ, Slafkovsky has already run the gauntlet of tough international competition and European league play. He has fast-tracked at every level and is a key figure in the expected resurgence of Slovakian hockey.

Dvorsky will be also insane in 2023. Juraj is incredible. Top 5 pick imo, I'd take him in front of the 2 russians, Miro and Yurov.
