Development Camp 2022 (July 10th-13th)

[Kaladin]

If slaf is a 40-50 point players that's a huge BUST for us. Just saying. Especially with how high scoring is these days , would be embarassing to say the least.

What's embarrassing will be how Wright disappears in any important Seattle playoffs game in his career. Especially if he doesn't have talent around him. And it'll happen after a "excellent" 70 point season too. It's not a "bust" but it's a huge pass on my end. Can't be relied upon to elevate his game, when it counts, unless he develops further from where he stands today.

Maybe not a star but it shocking how narrow-minded how NHL management does not embrace a "total football" sort of approach...

From Wikipedia

Total Football (Dutch: totaalvoetbal) is a tactical system in association football in which any outfield player can take over the role of any other player in a team. Although Dutch club Ajax and the Netherlands national football team are generally credited with creating this system during the 1970s, there were other sides who had played a similar style before, such as the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930s, the Argentine side "La Maquina" of River Plate in the 1940s, the Golden Team of Hungary in the 1950s,

Being more open minded about converting players to thrive in different positions from their "original" or "natural" ones is just part of their natural evolution and development curve in their personal and professional development. NHL teams would find alot more advantage taking a more broader open minded approach than the current narrow-minded, conservative, natural old school dinosaur way of doing things.

Evolve or die. Markov was a centre once. Dandenault, Streit, Federov...played in different positions at the NHL level, I am sure there plenty more examples....to back me up...

Nfl, nba, mlb do this all the time..

....Kingston boy here..Wright didn't disappear at all. We have a bad team no dee, no goal tending and bad coaching. They used Wright for every defensive zone face off.
He put us into the 2nd round with his OT goal do or die. Hes clutch.

If Slaf is a 50 point player thats a huge bust.
If Kirby Dach ends up being a 50 point Center its a huge bust!

As i can guarantee you Wright will get 80+ points on Seattle.

Scoff all you want. I like Slavkovsky but Wright is the real deal.

Watch Kingston all the time. I disagree. He completely looks disinterested most nights.

Which brings the question...why in the world did so many people turned on him? He has talent. He has skills. He skates well. He was pencilled to go 1st for 3 years now

Not saying he won't get it back. I think he will.. But it's wrong to just try to pretend that there was not an effort, enagement and pace issues with him with quite a few games this year and in the playoffs.

'Cause for me, it's not about points. It's not about usage. It was about watching him even in offensive zones. Again, I think he got bored. And wants a new challenge. And will shine more getting it. But there was an issue this year. Yet, I had Wright at 2.

This is pure non sense. Wright put Canada on his back at U18s and captained them to gold.

Yo guys I'm looking for input on our kids at the dev camp here, can we drop the Wright talk?

No, never in our lives, ever.

 

[Mrb1p]

A huge portion of the time the constant revisiting of these types of situations is far worse for the victim than the actual situation.

In no way am I condoning what he did. He did multiple stupid, immature, irresponsible, hurtful things in a row to end up where he did.

But I'm also not naive and know that most humans on this earth are selfish and disgusting.

Wait multiple?

You've worded this beautifully, kind sir.

Why is it every time someone defends Wright they have to go back to an example from before this season? People claim Slaf fans have recency bias, well whatever Wright fans have is the opposite of that and is equally bad.

Wright is just too cerebral, bruh.

He thinks the game at such an advanced level and his IQ is so high, you wouldn't even understand it.

How old are you? I’m not a Slaf fan or a Wright fan, I’m a Habs fan lol

Now that we’ve taken Slaf I’m hoping he proves our FO right. But no need to just make up crap bashing the guy. Just makes yourself look bad.

It’s just a classic case of over analysis. Sure Wright didn’t have a great start but he missed a year due to COVID. It all is very simple and obvious logic.

But alas, Slaf is our guy and I am hoping for the best. Definitely a rare player given his size and talent level. Doesn’t always know where to go and what to do like Wright, but hopefully that can be developed.

Reducing yourself to vague put downs about a poster's age is what's making you look bad unfortunately. How about we stick to the topic at hand?

Nothing I said is made up crap. Most nhl scouts had the same criticisms of Wright. If anything your view of him being able to put teams on his back is what's more up for debate. I said within my post he'd score 70 points. So clearly I think he's skilled.

Anyways, I don't want to derail the thread. Prospects looking good at development camp!

 

[River Meadow]

Excuse*

Was missing a year due to COVID the reason he had no compete in 2022 and in playoffs?

That's some serious jet lag.

How have been Kidney and Roy so far, two guys already under contract ?

 

[The Great Weal]

Damn he was about to say Gigachad Thundercock but Nesar cut him!

loved the ''Still is'' with a cocky smile

I thought of the nickname first!

Nobody is panicking, its people that overhype him that are the problem. He has shown no signs of busting, he just wasnt impressive as most here say.

Could you show us that video where you saw the unbelievable wright skills from Kraken dev camp? Because there is just 15-sec video or 4 minutes video where these things are not seen.
