#1OA Juraj Slafkovsky - Huge Disappointment

[Frederixx]

Slaf was never drafted to be a Patty kane. If he can be a 70pts power foward, I’ll be happy. It sucks we drafted first OV that year and not a year with a Celibrini, Bedard…I guess it’s the karma for 24 cups!

The same karma that gave you Hutson with a late 2nd round pick? In a re-draft, he's probably the 1st OV..

1st overalls have been pretty mid for a long time now.

lol seriously?

Within the last 10 years: McDavid, Matthews, Dahlin, Jack Hughes, Bedard, Celebrini - all legit stars.

Lafreniere and Slafkovsky are the only mid - maybe Owen Power.

Bedard is great but doesn't deserve to be on the list twice imo

Juraj is recently playing way better because he noticed he is not Suzuki or Caufield in the way that he doesn't have their skills. He should focus on giving the puck to them and position himself near the net, move his feet a lot and finish his checks, he will have plenty of opportunities to finish plays and set them up. I still think he has 70 pts potential with powerforward upside. At 20 years old most of the prospect are in college or AHL.

This is correct

A guy his size should own the front of the net and be a deflection machine
