Juraj Slafkovsky, a young winger for the Montreal Canadiens, has recently signed a significant contract extension. However, he acknowledges that he still needs to prove himself worthy of the investment. In an interview with Slovak hockey insider Tomas Prokop, Slafkovsky expressed his focus on summer training and his desire to improve, stating, “First and foremost, I have to prove to everyone that I deserve such money.”
Slafkovsky’s training regimen includes daily gym sessions and skating two to four times a week. He is committed to demonstrating his value to the team and justifying the contract. The organization and Slafkovsky share a long-term plan, aiming for continuous progression and improvement.
Notably, Slafkovsky is eager to represent Slovakia in the Winter Olympics and is willing to participate in the upcoming qualifiers. However, he recognizes that the final decision rests with the Montreal Canadiens’ management. Given his talent and popularity, it’s likely that the team will support his participation, providing him with valuable international experience.
As Slafkovsky works to prove himself, he faces a crucial season ahead. With his dedication to training and his drive to succeed, he is poised to make a significant impact on the ice. The Montreal Canadiens and their fans will be watching closely as he strives to justify his new contract and establish himself as a key player for the team.
