2025 NHL Entry Draft

[SOLR]

We have that with Anderson..lol.

You know big dumbs wingers with no IQ drafted way before small players with great IQ...

lol no... Anderson is a low % shooter. I'm talking about someone like Caufield with some physical aggression.

(Very rare)

It's more the Leonard type we lack (a shoot-first physical winger), and Desnoyers is not quite that.

Many thought Slafkovski was that, but I've warned everyone that he's a playmaker with a pass-first attitude.

That can change.

Pacioretty was the same way pre-draft and his his first few pro years until he was forced to adapt to playing with DD/Gomez.

Many of the top goalscorers in the league today were pass first to begin with: Draisaitl, Reinhart, Point, Nylander, Verhaeghe
Others have also had some outlier scoring seasons where they adapted their role like: Scheifele, Barkov, Bergeron, Lindholm, Aho, Staal

The important thing is we know he has the heavy shot, and we've even seen him score before in the Olympics. The rest is just mental.

Slaf has been like that since 12 years old, good f***ing luck with that.

Maxpac was a shooter at 14-15-16.

Slaf just needs Demidov and a center that can score.

Ie.
Demidov (Mix) - Suzuki (Mix) - Slaf (Mostly setup)
Caufield (Score) - Hagens (Mix) - Laine (Score)

Max was not a shoot first player until 2010-11.

Slaf has much higher G/A ratios at the same ages
