Slafkovsky is a big man too. Nice, he absolutely trucked him.

Devils fans are very, very happy about this kind of value late in the draft.

Thanks for posting that @Kshahdoo. I Reposted the video to the Devils board, I think lots of the draft watchers on the Devils board were happy that we got him.

We need a D like him. We now have him , Okhotiuk , couple others that can hit and like to hit. Goes well with our offensive guys like Nemec Hughes Hamilton Casey etc.

The fact that he did Boxing for awhile probably would make him the best fighter in the NHL.

Thats the 2nd video of him where ive seen him pick a nice open spot and score. I was happy that he was a good Defensive banger but clearly he has some good offensive instincts.

 

[Eggtimer]

Not sure if he will ever make it to the NHL but I’m cheering for him to make it. I really like the way he plays

It's really sad that a professional hockey player cannot afford shoes. Or even socks apparently.
