LAVAL — Juraj Slafkovsky made the jump directly to the NHL as an 18-year-old last season after being selected first overall by the Canadiens ...
“I would say that nothing’s definite,” Jeff Gorton, the Canadiens’ executive vice-president of hockey operations, said Monday at the team’s annual golf tournament when asked where Reinbacher might play this season. “But the plan here so far is let’s let David play in North America for a little bit here with rookie camp . Let’s get him adjusted. Let’s see where it goes from there and then maybe the NHL camp a little bit.
He returned to Montreal from Slovakia on Aug. 1 to get ready for the main training camp, which starts Sept. 20. The 6-foot-3 left-winger looks much leaner than he did at training camp last season when he weighed in at 238 pounds. Slafkovsky, who hasn’t played a game since Jan. 15, said his knee is now at “110 per cent” and he’s excited about the coming season. Head coach Martin St. Louis said the plan is for Slafkovsky to start the season with the Canadiens once again.
