LOL I mean, I lost 4 pounds between when I went to bed on Sunday evening and when I woke up on Monday morning... I can't imagine how much a pro hockey player's weight fluctuates over time with training, travelling, eating habits, etc.
I suspect that’s why they took him. The habs have way too many players who need space opened and almost no one who opens space. Even if Wright ends up being a much more productive player Slaf may bd a better fit.
It may take longer for Slaf, too. The big guys tend to take a bit longer to put it together. The Dach trade is a gamble Chicago gave up early .
Incontinence while sleeping is quite normal.
Apron Basu said yesterday on Melnick’s show, Slaf was without a doubt the prospect that stood out head & shoulders above the others at camp regardless of stats - also is 95% confident Slaf will be on the opening night rosterFor what it’s worth, Corey Pronman with a contrarian viewpoint. He apparently believes Slaf is not a total bust yet.
“Slafkovsky wasn’t all over the score sheet in his two games, but he stood out as you would hope the 2022 first overall pick would, particularly in his first game. There were times Slafkovsky physically overmatched his opponents with his massive frame. His speed, reach and skill combination also allowed him to generate a ton of clean entries. He got and generated plenty of scoring chances and overall was the most impressive pro prospect at this event, as somewhat expected.”

For sure but we fans have to be super patient.
Is Arpon aware of the Liiga stats tho?

Wont somebody PLEASE think of the Liiga stats!
Who cares how he looked like out there!
I was a 239 lbs and told the doctor I weighed 240. He made me step on the scale and I weighed 231 lbs. Either my scale at home is. way off or weight varies, depending on several factors.
Or from Chicago’s perspective: cutting a bust loose before he loses more value.
The only "true" scale are the old fashion beam type that they use in the doctors office. I bought one waaay back from Consumers Distributing, about 40 years ago, calibrated it once and it's never needs adjustment.
Are there any players on the Canadiens that you like or are optimistic about? Maybe HuGo hasn't received all your letters advising them on what moves they should be making. They seem to be screwing up left and right.
I like plenty of players but I don’t think it’s reasonable to only look at upside when discussing unknowns.
Years ago, after hearing the Leafs Doug Gilmour would lose upwards of say 6 to 8lbs during the course of a hockey game. I thought I would try it and weighed myself before the game and after. I believe it was 1993, so I was around 23 yrs old. At the time I was in very good shape. I was 5'7 and weighed about 185lbs. My pregame weight was 184lbs, my post game weight was 177lbs. I know it was water weight that I loss, and the lbs came back in within a couple of days. But I was still blown away at how much I lost. In such a short period of time.
Stop harping on his f***ing weight. Jesus Christ I think Slaf is smart enough to listen to his trainers and the Habs organization when it comes to fitness. The kid is 6'3 at EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD. The kids weight is going to fluctuate regardless of what he does and doesn't do.
Do we assume hes smart enough?
