Prospect Info: [2022 - 1st OA] Juraj Slafkovsky (LW) Part 2

[Vachon23]

Who cares how much pound he is ? The important thing is that it's not slowing him and from what I saw at the rookie camp, it didn't slow him down so he will just be tougher to play against in the corners

 

[Mrb1p]

lol yeah clearly.. so much fat on him in the pictures we've seen.

Just a terrible post.

You know whats terrible?

Not having any understanding of science whatsoever.

Clearly Slafkovsky went from his 225 lbs and added 5% of his bodyweight in muscle in a month.

Ill give you the answer because I wouldn't expect a neckbeard to actually know anything about this, nah, even with a very healthy dose of Mikes Magic juice, he wouldnt even add that.

It is fat. No, it is not bad.

Your post and most of your post have been though, thanks for coming.

His offseason weight is important, probably the most important thing in his development. He should come in heavier and heavier, thats how bulking works.

Maybe not 10+ pounds on opening camp but im pretty sure Slaf just relaxed after having the craziest months of his life.

I know enough to know that weight fluctuates consistently and making huge sweeping generalizations about what he did between one weight measurement and another is just stupid.

Unless you're competing in weight categories, you don't weigh yourself consistently when cutting weight or gaining muscle.. you use the mirror to tell you. We can use the ole mirror test to see that Slafkovsky is not anymore baby fat than he was the last time we saw him.

Weight fluctuations is a thing, yes.

It is not a 5%+ thing.

I weigh the same more or less than Slafkovsky and my weight fluctuates between 223-230 weekly, with most days being around 224-227.

He relaxed, he ate. Maybe he even partied a bit. Its fine.

Yeah it's a complete non issue.. he might have gained some fat and some muscles as teenagers do, but when you look at him, this isn't Big Buff coming into camp clearly overweight.

You look at him on and off the ice and there's no hindrances plus no reasons to be concerned.

The post I quoted quoted a post asking if it was all muscle.

Maybe you could take your time next time and not tell me Im stupid, even if you have some kind of internet immunity

You are, have you tried Googling his Liiga stats1?1?1?1

Is Arpon aware of the Liiga stats tho?
Wont somebody PLEASE think of the Liiga stats!

Who cares how he looked like out there!

hey he’s only .5 ppg lifetime at pre-season rookie practices too

Honestly in my peak gym rat days at the age of 21 in Uni my weight would fluctuate between 195 and 205 so about 2.5%.

Now Slaf has a better diet/training than i did at my best. So let's say he only fluctuates 2%. That's about 4.6lbs, assuming 229 is his average. 238 could have been a heavy day and he has only gained 3.5lbs since the draft.

Some of us suspect not enough dietary fibre and morning cofee.

I know your meme-ing but I was a coffee fiend and my carbs in almost every lunch and dinner was a mix of Brown rice and Quinoa.

So what youre saying is that you made Joseph Kruger a billionaire.

 

[Andrei79]

Do we assume hes smart enough?

How do you know?


Also, not going to harp about his weight here but he clearly laid back relaxed and ate his way out of Slovakia this summer. Not that its bad, he needs to put meat on those bones.

Mrb1p: Can you really assume he's smart enough?
Also Mrb1p: cLeArLy hE wAs ReLaXeD.

It’s funny we’re talking about this actually, my therapist told me if I was to manage my stress and sleep at night I had to stop after one cofee in the morning… Unless I train… I’ve been getting jacked up on dbl espressos and hitting the iron every morning for a month; I feel awesome!

I’ll never look like Slaf though, man he must need a lot of chicken.

The same assumption were made for a lot of prospects and a few years later we somehow "learned" that they had x and y flaws that were somehow impossible for them to have.

Kotkaniemi apparently wasnt the jolly little guy they were making him out to be and thats why he busted.
Galchenyuk wasnt focused as a hockey player and partied too much.
And on, and on.

The reason I called your post stupid was because you were making a sweeping statement that he just went back to Slovakia and ate, ate and got fat.

Clearly thats what he did to gain 10%+ bodyweight, thats how thermodynamics works.

The sweeping assumption is that you assumed I said this to be negative. Slafkovsky is human like everyone else, he answers to the same laws as all of us.

That's awesome, when I became a a hard-core gymmer in Uni I felt so much better physically and mentally.

But yeah even at 10-12 hours a week in the gym I couldn't get shredded. Curse these fat genes.

When you mention 10%+, how much weight do you think he gained and in what time frame ? He was never below 220lbs or above 240lbs, so already I have no idea where that 10%+ number comes from. Aren't we talking 229 to 238lbs in the span of two months ?

Well, you may claim to be an expert in thermodynamics (which you ain't lol)
But not so great at math since adding 10% to 229 would be adding 23 lbs...

And I cant believe you say "clearly" btw lol like wow

Adding 9lbs wouldn't even pass the dreaded 5%. He'd still be well within what can be explained by weight fluctuations. He likely gained some bad weight, which a lot of young players tend to do, but this thread just takes that assumption and runs with it with some asinine conclusions.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Everybody is always wrong except me. I mean that.

 

[Andrei79]

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.

Congrats! Your first wrong statement!
Here's a sticker.

Wow nice you corrected the random numbers I picked

So basically you agree with everything I said but cared enough to try to make me look bad because I didnt care to check his weight before and after and to actually put an accurate number.

What asinine conclusions have I made? I literally havent criticized Slafkovsky in any of the posts Ive made lol.

 

[Hacketts]

Or from Chicago’s perspective: cutting a bust loose before he loses more value.

You love being that guy eh.
