[Garo]

[Skip Bayless]

Let's not get carried away here.

It's done! We got the next Jagr! Wooo

Do explain what the Good Book has to do with Slafkovsky?

The Good Book offers as much insight into Slaf as it does into the 18 year gap where Jesus from the ages of 12 to 30, is nowhere to be found.

Mesar might be ready for the NHL as a 19 year-old. a year on North American ice where he lights it up red behind the opposing G might well be the recipe to building his confidence up while he gets acclimated to the ice on this side of the ocean.

Really hope we select dvorsky at the 2023 draft and go big with the kids on a 3rd line a year later, after snatching up Dubois and re-signing Monahan as well for the 2nd line:

Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Monahan - Dubois - Anderson (Dubois and Anderson have prior chemistry)
Slafkovsky - Dvorsky - Mesar
Heineman - Beck - Roy

When Roy is ready, he can play on the 2nd line with Monahan and Dubois and Farrell should be ready to play on the 4th line.

Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Monahan - Dubois - Roy
Slafkovsky - Dvorsky - Mesar
Farrell - Beck - Heineman

That third line, provided it is allowed to play offensive hockey, could be deadly and the difference come playoff time.

I don't think Roy is close to NHL ready. Farrell will make it before him.

 

[Et le But]

I gotta say, he still needs a lot of work but he's already showing the ability to produce a lot of us were worried about. Already showing he can make adjustments which is usually what is lacking when you talk real busts.

Still not entirely sure what he is going to be but I'm a lot happier about the pick already.

 

[SlafySZN]

Lol yes,

Farrell is far ahead of Roy in every aspects and honestly in my opinion Farrell is gonna be in the habs lineup already near the end of the year.

“He nEeDs tO Be iN LAvaL”.

The usual suspects can keep saying that, and he’ll keep scoring goals in the NHL.

Some people were really that mad about the team not picking Shane Wright, that they can’t even enjoy watching this kid or cheer for him. They have to nit pick every little mistake he makes, and borderline hope for him to not do well.

Hopefully as he keeps scoring goals, they’ll become more and more quiet, and then they’ll pretend they supported him all along, as is the norm on HF.

He’s only gonna get better and better.

 

[calder candidate]

I think he need to go to the AHL for now, let figure what we do with Dadonov, Hoffman and Drouin… there no way for those guy to build any value or momentum when they are rotating in and out of the lineup and continually changing line combo. It is going to be good for Slaf to get more ice time, it going to be good for these player we are trying to dump, give them there chance and we will be set, either they build some value or they don’t and we can just waive them… But right now if someone is going to play 10min I prefer it to be Dadonov or Hoffman rather than Slaf.

That’s a great look. Should be someone’s avatar.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Slaf really does have that Superman/Clark Kent vibe going for him.

Lmao . 3 washed dead weight plugs. The book is out on Drouin, the Habs were compensated to take Dadonov, and Hoffman is going nowhere with that contract, even if the Habs retained 50%. Zero chance any of them are moved this season. Send them all down if anything.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

With his 3rd goal tonight, Slafkovsky actually moves into 3rd place on our goal scoring list.

It's:

Caufield: 8 goals
Suzuki: 8 goals
Slafkovsky: 3 goals (9 games)
Anderson: 3 goals (12 games)
Dvorak: 3 goals (12 games - actually all in ONE game)

The top 3 have 19 of our 34 goals (56%).

Suzuki & Caufield score 47% of our goals.

Kova doesn't matter,. He's a waiver pickup. You don't change the way you manage your kids because you claimed a guy on waiver. He's nothing special like Kulak. We fall way too easily in love with guys like than in Montreal. This has been the main problem with this franchise for 30 years.

Guhle is doing fine in the NHL i don't see the point in sending him to the AHL. Harris is doing fine too. We can't send all our kids in the AHL for the next 2 years and then have 10 kids graduating in the NHL at the same time in 2024-2025. We have to bring them in wave.

I really don't get the love for Kova. imo he's a nothing burger dman. There's nothing to see there outside of an okayish 6th or 7th dman.

Kulak only became special for what he fetched when we traded him.

Otherwise, in the infamous words of @Apoplectic Habs Fan during a GDT:

“Is that Kulak or a turnstile?”

Lmao and some already want to try to make the playoffs after this extremely mediocre start. Relying on two players for that much of your offense just ain’t gonna fly, ever. We desperately need another high pick. Especially with a draft as deep as this coming one. Management should be doing everything they can to make sure that happens.

I appreciate the sarcasm but I think you fail to realize that both Harris and Gulhe are avg. over 20min a game playing top 4 and are having a significant impact, they could play top 4 on a few NHL team not just the habs. Going to AHL would do nothing for them they would have the same role compare to Slaf who is the least used Player on the team (11:02 including 20sec of PP) even Pezz avg more time in is one game. Slaf has the ability he need ice time to develop those ability riding the bench in the NHL isn’t better than playing in the 1st line / 1PP in AHL when you are 18yo and developing… he doesn’t need to stay in the AHL for the reste of the season just until he gain some more expirence or we figured out how to dump a couple guys and can give him top 9minute+

 

[the valiant effort]

Apologies to anyone who may have already brought it up, but please Lord let Slaf win the most dominant Cy Young in sports history.
