The two Slovaks newly drafted by the Canadian, Juraj Slafkovsky and Filip Mesar, have one goal in mind for next season: to stay in America. For Slafkovsky, if his destiny is not to play in Montreal, he is almost certain to play for the Rocket. In short, he won't be going to junior. For Mesar, the Canadiens seem unattainable for the moment and we are in total uncertainty as to whether he will play in Kitchener in the OHL or in Laval with the Rocket. The main interested party has his preference: <q>I don't mind, but I think the best option for me would be the AHL. - Filip Mesar</q> He and Slafkovsky have a lot of confidence, but they also have a lot of pressure from here and back home. In fact, Mesar admits it's very intense at times, especially for the first overall pick, who has all the spotlight on him: <q>I think it's good for me because maybe it's a little too much pressure for him sometimes. It's probably easier for me. I prefer not to have too much attention. - Filip Mesar</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RDSca/status/1570838978051608576?t=vn2drWLX7mifPHdUsS7pAw&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Don't worry about the two youngsters and the pressure, they are well equipped to deal with it: <q>We have a lot of pressure in our country, but we handle it well. Juraj is very strong mentally.</q> Credit: <a href='https://www.rumeursdetransaction.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/Grosse-revelation-de-Filip-Mesar-en-vue-de-la-saison-prochaine' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Rumeursdetransaction.com</a>
