Big news, Habs fans. With the Montreal Canadiens making the final round of cuts on Monday, 2022 first overall pick Juraj Slafkosvky has made the team’s opening night roster.This means Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris and Juraj Slafkovsky are starting the season with the Canadiens.Slafkovsky was a surprising first pick after Shane Wright’s name dominated the draft headlines leading up to the July selection process.
The 6-foot-3, 238-pound forward was definitely not a lock to make the Canadiens out of training camp. Slafkovsky had an up-and-down pre-season., GM Kent Hughes used the terms “underwhelming” and “inconsistent” to describe Slafkovsky’s early play. Last Monday, after recording an assist in a loss to the Leafs, coach Martin St. Louis praised Slafkovsky’s play, saying he was more confident with the puck.
Eric Lindros was the last forward to not go straight to the NHL after getting taken first overall in 1991. Owen Power, the 2021 first overall pick, returned to college before turning pro at the end of the season.and Jordan Harris will also start the season with the Canadiens. Harris had a 10-game stint with the Canadiens to close out 2021-22, while Xhekaj and Guhle have made the roster for the first time.
