He will have alot of bad games, comes with the territory of being so young, so raw. Wait until he hits his 3rd year. He is night and day better than last season.
Solid #7 that can fill in without hurting the team. Pleasant surprise.

I mean, yes, but that’s like one post. No one will see eye to eye on everything. I wouldn’t agree, that’s for sure, on the idea. I can say a LOT of names should play less then they do before Slaf these past few weeks
I feel the vibe is getting there on the whole Slaf thing, and it’s directly correlated to his play. It’s a good thing all around.

Missed the game.
I hear Slaf is coming out of his shell. Nice

I'm betting on AHL time for both he and Reinbacher.
Nice goal in OT for sure, but I think Jesse had a meh-type game. I hope he too takes note that you can't show up 1 out of every 4 games (ask Yoelle)
I know it's only 2 games but damn Struble plays like he belongs in the NHL.
Some people just can't process being wrong... To je to
I wonder if Struble can teach that no look pass to Matheson. 
He plays 7 minutes per game no matter how he plays. He also plays with players that can't match his skills set.
That’s interesting. My feeling is Hutson would prefer staying in the NCAA than signing at the end of the season to go to Laval. Might be wrong, but NCAA is like a hybrid pro league and I would guess he’s comfy there, considering his development.
I never doubted it and every post I've ever made on the guy has reflected that.

He’s a decent bottom pairing guy. Low ceiling.
We just have a lot of bottom pairing guys.
I’d argue that he’s more stable than Kova recently.
It may depend on what upper management wants. Particularly if they see those two as a future pairing.
Pro hockey suits his style. I’m very happy with this dev curve, all the injuries took their toll but he’s on a great trajectory. Feels like an NHL d man.

I do Three bullets.
It's pretty obvious who lol
What's NOT obvious, is if we get to an incredible 'it's Xhekaj or its Struble' situation, Arber beeeeeeetter start putting in a lil more work at trying to get 'better' and not feel so 'established' which is so not his fault entirely because the city just plain fell in LOVE with him and so did I
But he's a bottom pair D essentially
Struble hasn't taken over the spot either by any means but his name is officially thrown into the 6 D hat now that's for sure

I would keep Slaf in the top 6. I love Gally but I would move Gally to the Monahan line and Josh Anderson to the 4th line and move Ylonen up.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Guhle yet.
Is it too soon to recognize him as our best defenceman ?
He keeps up this play and in 10 games it’s time to give him that label.

He's innocuous. (doesn't f*** up a lot) which is great for a D-man.
I remember my 7th grade teacher always saying about Chris Tanev "I never notice him, which is probably a good thing for a defenseman. Not making many mistakes." (not comparing Lindstrom to Tanev obviously, just the idea)
He is the D I easily trust the most.

Has been since his rookie season lol. I'll take his steadiness and composure over Matheson's flashiness that results in a -4 any day.
