Slafkovsky takes pride in his physical play ahead of 2022 NHL Draft

 

Heading into the upcoming draft, Henry Eagles, always believed he would be playing in the VHLM in his first season. He held many interviews with teams that were looking at drafting him in the upcoming draft but there has been a slight change in the last few days.

Henry was informed that technically he could skip the M and head straight to the E. While this information was last minute, Henry, did not have much time to think about the decision. He quickly called in his agent as well as the rest of the Eagles dynasty players and had a discussion on what the best way forward would be for him and his career. With the E being an new league, no Eagles has yet played in the VHLE league, and this could be a good opportunity for Henry to showcase his talent playing against more skilled opponents.

On the flipside, if he commits to playing in the M, he would be one of the top players in the league and could really climb the stat board to improve his draft stock. After much deliberation, Henry, has decided that he will play in the E this season.

 

" I think this is the best choice for me at this current time. I always want to play against the best and I believe this will be the best for my development" Henry said " With this being last minute, I know not many teams in the E will have the opportunity to scout or interview me due to this late decision but I think they have already heard what I can bring to the table. It will definitely be an interesting draft and I might go way lower then I thought but it will be worth it in the end"

After the decision, Henry's, agent scrambled to call all the VHLM teams that have reached out with interviews and let them know that Henry will no longer be participating in the M. While many teams were upset that Henry would not be gracing them in the M, they all understood that it will be better for him playing against players that are higher caliber then the M. 

It will know be interesting to see where Henry will go in the draft. If he would have stayed in the M, he would have definitely been a top 3 pick. Heading into the E, some GM's may not even know he will be available. This could lead to a big drop in the draft standings for Henry but it will also lead to the team that drafts him, most likely getting the steal of the draft.

When asked if he has any team preferences this is what Henry said...

 

" I do not have a preference, I am always a team player and will give it my all to help the team win. They can be a rebuild team or a contender, this does not matter to me. All that the team needs to know is that they are getting a player who will put in all his effort in making sure the team gets better"
