JURAJ SLAFKOVSKY EMERGING AS STUD POWER FORWARD | MTL, SJS & BUF 2025 Draft Options

In this episode, we highlight the strong performances of Juraj Slafkovsky, Collin Graf (SJS), & Zach Benson (BUF) and analyze their respective teams' 2025 1st round options. First we dig into Slafkovsky's torrid form, not just scoring but exploring his powerforward role with increased physicality. We also see what we can learn from Slafkovsky's progression regarding the development of elite young powerforwards like Adam Fantilli, Cayden Lindstrom, and Roger McQueen before pondering the Habs' 1st round options. Next we highlight Collin Graf of the San Jose Sharks who has excelled since his call-up and look at why Matthew Schaefer would be a perfect fit in California. Finally, we check-in with Zach Benson who continues to play an energetic and highly intelligent brand of hockey and cross our fingers that the Sabres land Michael Misa as he would stabilize the forward core in key ways.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SelectQuoteGet the right life insurance for you, for less, at SelectQuote.com/LOCKEDONNHL. Wonderful PistachiosGet snackin’ and get crackin’ with the snack that packs a protein punch.
