       **_Slafkovsky on his journey in hockey thus far:_**
        
       It's going [by] pretty fast. A couple of years ago, I had just left
       home, played few years in Czechia and Finland, and then got drafted,
       and now after a couple of years I signed a big deal. It’s more like
       a dream, but that's what I’ve been working for my whole life. I
       wanted to be in this spot and now it's just time to get some wins and
       think about other important stuff, not contracts.
        
       **_Slafkovsky on his impressions of Ivan Demidov:_**
        
       I've seen some highlights of him, and I feel like he's another great
       player that's coming to the organization. It will be fun to see him
       play, because he's a pretty good playmaker, and has good hands. I saw
       some moves he did back in Russia. I already reached out to him. I
       can't wait to meet him and see him on the ice.
        
       **_Slafkovsky on his belief in himself and the trust the team has in
       him:_**
        
       I believe in myself even more when I see that other people trust me
       and my skills, and trust me as a person, and that's only helping me. I
       feel like it's been like that ever since I came to Montreal. Everyone
       around me has placed their trust in me and has wanted to make me
       better. So yeah, it's just even bigger now. Obviously, I want to give
       back. I want to perform and do everything, so they know that they made
       the right decision.
        
       **_Slafkovsky on whether he will participate in the Winter Olympics
       qualifying tournament in August:_**
        
       I'm not really sure. Montreal is going to decide, because it’s close
       to [the start of the] season, and I’m their player and I will do
       whatever they feel is best for me to do.
