Now injured for the rest of the season, Kent Hughes has revealed what the real plan is for Juraj Slafkovsky

"Honestly, we had discussions every week or two about whether we should, for Juraj Slafkovsky's development, send him to the American Hockey League, but in the end, we didn't feel that was the best option for him.

What we're trying to do is help him understand how he can be most successful here in North America, and it's not necessarily natural for him, so we think his development will be in stages." - Kent Hughes
