Potential Flyers first round pick is on an absolute tear with his national team

Man, this kid is making a name for himself.

Juraj Slafkovsky is on an absolute tear with his national team. And he's only 18 years old. This year, with TPS Turku in Finland, he registered 10 points in 31 games.

It's a modest production, but it's pretty good at his young age. He's a boy among men. His stature - 6 foot 4 and 218 pounds - is something that allows him to be competitive among professionals.

During the last Olympics with Slovakia, he recorded 7 goals in 7 games. He's now playing in the World Championship, and has already 5 points in 5 games. This year with Slovakia, he registered 12 points in 12 games. It's phenomenal for an 18-year-old player.



Let's now hope that he will still be available when the Flyers will make their pick. But I doubt it...
