Slafkovsky might have the worst contract in the league next year

7.6M x 8 and he's on pace for 9 goals in 82 games this year
Overall it looks like the 2022 draft is a train wreck. Only Cooley and Mintyukov look solid so far.

I get that you want to be patient with young players and some take longer than others but holy shit Slaf was 1st overall and he looks nothing like a franchise player. On pace for 9 goals has to be really concerning for the Habs. Plus he makes superstar money next season.

On another note I’m all for a Ott-Tor first round. Ottawa playing some inspired hockey lately
Id rather bridge a player and pay more just to be sure vs paying ahead just to save a couple of mil.

Scabs fans love him and the contract. Apparently they are laughing at us because only they realize he’s a top tier forward.

NJ continuing it's nosedive off a cliff

2-5-3 in their last 10 games, back to back losses to Ottawa and Philly

Keefe captaining the titanic
I watch them often and it's been amazing to watch that powerful offense dry up. Offensive struggles would have been at the very bottom of my list of things that may cause them grief this season.

Most losses/wins during that time frame were within one goal. I wouldn't count them out until the playoffs.

They’ve been very fortunate that NYR and Boston both suck this year.

Based on points percentage, they’d be 8th in the West. They’re 6th in the East right now.
 
Off topic.

Is it just me or does the posting frequency and general interest in this site appear to be on a steady decline?

I don’t spend much time on the mains or other teams boards so maybe they’re maintaining a steady pace but that doesn’t appear to be the case here. Not that long ago if you skipped a day here there would be umpteen pages of new posts to catch up on. I miss yesteryear.

I realize you're talking about a longer trend but it doesn't help that the sight currently looks like trash.

As for the larger trend... What do you expect with the moderation on the mains?
 
It really emphasizes the importance of us getting our game back to where we want it to be

This is the clearest pathway to the final 4 we've had since the Canadian division

This is the year for management to make a big move imo. There are clear holes on D and C. Unfortunately Tre seems scared...
 
Another reason why Sid is a freakin JOKE!

Rempe vs Xhekaj fight was a beauty, Arber beat him up pretty good
He was probably awake all night thinking about how silly he feels turtling against Reaves the night before and the cocky point to the scoreboard and wave. If he would have stepped up and threw a beatdown on Reavo it would have fired up his team even more and might have changed the outcome. But he knows that wouldn't have happened and he will forever more put on some lipstick when playing against the Leafs LOL.
