Development Camp 2022 (July 10th-13th)

[Jee]

He passes the poutine test. Also he hates pineapple on pizza.

Nobody is perfect. It's an acquired taste tho, I still believe in him.

Coming back from Brossard,

Slafkovsky is a monster, I was worried to maybe see a KK today but for those who were worried about that I can assure you Slaf is two leagues over KK. The guy is strong on his skates, good vision, excellent hands in short space, good and accurate shot, he even did the move between the legs but got stopped. I was skeptical but now I love the pick.

Farrell, his vision hands and passing abilities are a notch over everyone, I don’t think he is far from the NHL honestly, don’t think he will go AHL.

Hutson, one of the most surprising prospect, his skating reminded me of Mete back in the days, think Mete with hands and vision. Looked sharp in 1 vs 1

Beck, I had to talk about him, I think he will be a top 5 prospect for us by the end of the year, he is def one of my favorite prospect, very good defensively and 1 vs 1, good vision, good hands, excellent hockey IQ

Dichow, was the best G, by far the most athletic in our system.

Roy and Kidney, looked good but another year working on execution will do wonder for them

How did Mesar look?

Oh yeah, even if it's just pratice, Slafkovsky have too much better tools than KK, better skating ability is already a great thing, because KK with a better skating ability he is a pretty good player. Slafkovsky have better physical ability, don't fall on ice like him. Very happy with this pick, fit perfectly with Suzuki and Caufield.

Thanks for the report about Farrell, i'm high on him, top 6 potential for sure. Beck is going to be a pretty good C in NHL with his tools. Roy and Kidney with a good development they are going to be pretty good NHL players too.

Emil Heineman looks good?

 

[Runner77]

Stu in Brossard to collect and confirm birthdays for all Habs newcomers, for his future fluff pieces.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Slafkovsky is already better than KK is TODAY.

 

[Runner77]

Talk about 20 years too late

Never too late to teach rookies how to make a good pina colada.

Forgot about Heineman, he looks already NHL ready, I mean his puck protection and shot are really good, you look at him and he has that vibe that he will play in the NHL.

How did Mesar look?

Didn’t notice him a lot, you can see he has good hands but he has to put some weight on. Again it’s only pratice 3 vs 3, 4 vs 4. Would like to see him in a scrimmage.

 

[Maitz]

I remember in 2018 going to dev camp with my friend and we were like, that guy was picked 3rd overall? We were worried but after the main camp we had hope

Thanks, nice to hear that about Heineman. I really like his tools. Him and Ylonen can be really solid together on a 3rd line one day. I already see a Heineman - Beck - Ylonen type of line.

I like his tools and how he looks to project a lot too. I have this feeling he can be one of those guys that will play throughout the lineup, take a shift or two with Suzuki and Caufield and not look out of place for example. Really curious to see how he develops.

Just watched the Slafkovsky bike video. Loved the reaction from the young lady running the test.

Stop..

Checks screen info..

Looks @ Slaf
WTF.. Seriously dude..

Boratkovsky.

 

[montreal]

people see what they want to see though. Take a look at the vid I posted, just after the 1 min mark he gets pushed by Kapanen a guy who couldn't even handle Liiga last season. KK was coming off a major knee injury let's not forget, but it's funny how short memories people have. We rushed Galchenyuk, KK and looked what happened, now people are suggesting to do the same thing again and if it doesn't work out you know they will be the first posters saying I f***ing told you to pick Wright, how do you not pick him, etc...

Stop rushing prospects to the NHL, things take time it's ok.

 

[Draft]

I might get some hisses and boos for this, but I really want to see Slaf on a line with Armia. Just salivating over the potential cycle game.

Out of all our players, Armia would probably not be a bad choice to play with Slaf at first. Anyway, depends if they send him to the AHL or not.

And we’re not stuck having to send him to juniors either. The fact that he could go AHL or back to Liiga is perfect for his level of development.

I'm more on board with this than trying to ruin Slaf by putting Drouin on his wing.

They’d complement each other like Pilsner and fettuccine alfredo. I’m really hoping they take their time with him and don’t just try and turn him into an “I chase puck” kind of winger for Caufield and Suzuki.

 

[KFlint]

Bobrov said quite clearly that sending him back to Finland would not be optimal for his development. I think the AHL for at least half a season would be good for him. Let’s see if he dominates there first. If they absolutely want him to play in the NHL, 3rd line and go from there…

Actually, I think Slafkovsky might be ready to go directly to the super NHL, and perhaps you should be demodded for heresy.

Isn't that horse gigantic? Wtf

Maybe it's been too long since I saw one lol

The wingate test doesn't break slafkosvky, slagkosvky breaks the Wingate test. Lol

Cue the Chuck Norris-style memes!

Wouldn't it be something if Heineman could turn into our version of Palat.
