Joël Bouchard allowed himself to compare the play of the first overall pick of the last NHL auction, namely Juraj Slafkovsky, to that of Shane Wright since the start of the season. Bouchard was unequivocal on this subject: he is in favor of the number 20 of the Montreal Canadiens.
“Slafkovsky is way ahead of Wright. You have to be patient and take the time!” – Joel Bouchard
“Just to be clear, the Canadian made the right choice by selecting Juraj.”????https://t.co/V6xpYzSt1E

Bouchard added this sentence following indicating that Slafkovsky had nothing to call him exceptional, other than his stature.
“However, it will take time, because Juraj does not have an exceptional quality that stands out besides his size.” – Bouchard
He speaks here of the time before he takes his way to go.
That said, since the start of the current season, Martin St-Louis has been going at it gradually with his young forward, who blew his 18th birthday on March 30.
In three games, Slafkovsky still hasn’t collected any points and is posting a minus-1 differential. However, he fired a shot on target and his playing time increased game following game, which remains positive.
In his first duel, Slavs played 9:31 minutes, moving to 10:34 once morest the Detroit Red Wings and 12:41 once morest the Washington Capitals last Saturday.
We feel that the attacking colossus is quietly passing on his shyness, he who is clearly supported by his coach, who wants to work even better with him.
In the case of Shane Wright, who was seen as the one who should have been the very first pick in 2022, he has yet to hit Slafkovsky’s stuff. So far, it’s been very laborious for Wright, who was also left out in the second game of the Seattle Kraken.
Patience is therefore required in the case of the two players, but, so far, everything suggests that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens made a logical choice last July.
A lot of
