Assuming I was insulted because I simply just responded with a post that countered yours? Lol. Ok.
Heineman IS *currently* better in all aspects of hockey than Slaf right now. I said it *could* just be because he is a few years older and I hope that Slaf continues to develop. Right now he is a significantly worse skater, non existent shot threat, usually a step behind the play, less hustle and effort, more giveaways etc. I could go on. What's insane is turning a blind eye to it just because he is a big body and a shiny first pick. Slafkovsky is currently better on the power play and being fortunate enough to play it with Suzuki / Hutson / Laine, collecting secondary assists on Laine's perfect shot. That's about it.
You called it an "insane take" and tried to dismiss what Heineman is doing because it's vs 3rd and 4th liners. What did Slafkovsky do against them?
Guarantee if the roles were reversed and it was Heineman playing on the top line with Suzuki & Caufield and putting up points, you’d say it’s “only because he’s on the top line, Slaf is on the 4th line!”
. Just looking for a cop out to diminish was he’s doing and make excuses for Slaf.
