While in a press briefing today with the media, Juraj Slafkovsky clarified some interesting topics.

The 2022 first overall pick addressed his return to the ice, which was during the day, and confirmed that he will be out for the upcoming World Hockey Championship representing Slovakia.
Obviously, this announcement does not surprise anyone, since the 19-year-old has not touched the ice for several months. However, he was asked the question by a journalist and his answer was absolutely epic:
(Will you be at the World Championship in a few weeks?)
"The last time I was on the ice was January 15. What do you think?" - Juraj Slafkovsky

Wow the CH rookie forward gave a very direct answer, but it was justified.
The Tricolore's number 20 also added this:
"We have so many good players in Slovakia who have played. It would be a little weird if I added to the team. It would have been different if I had games at the end of the season, but I wouldn't have enough time to be the best version of myself." - Juraj Slafkovsky

The Slovakian team will most likely miss him, he had nine points, including three goals in eight games in last year's edition.
