Probably. I assume every player is already on the downward side of their career at… *checks notes*.. 19 years of age.

Far far far to early to tell....lets give him a few years before we determine he is a complete bust.

Basement teams are bad at developing players. Largely, because they rush players onto the ice for monetary reasons.

For really big players it takes longer to develop. How many times it has to be repeated?

guy's gotta stop being a slakoffsky
I think picking him was not only the worst draft pick in the history of sports but one of the worst decisions mankind ever made.

Yak put up some points in his first few years before completely cratering.
Played 7 good games in the Olympics and got overrated

Looks fine to me for a 19 year old who missed half his rookie season. Not exactly a star but the draft was not good at all in 2022.

He's not a defenseman though. Why can't he do power forward things? He plays like he's an old man.

It is not a D thing only. The best power forward of 2000s - Todd Bertuzzi had a long learning curve. Then he realized how to efficiently use his body.
In our system we have Elmer Soderblom that also looks goofy on the ice. But I prefer to keep him as long as possible instead of trading and then watching Seider trying to move him out of the slot.
PS these guys may never develop as intended but if they do, a respective team gets a very unique dimension.

No. But he’s a bad pick for sure. If he can get it into his mindset that to be an NHLer he needs to play a heavy game as a banger then he will have a career. If not then he’s back to Europe. He should have been picked 5-9. He still is young and can learn. But he’s got to accept the role he needs to play to be in the National League.

If Slafkovsky is getting all these premature threads after a rookie season of 10 points 39 games, I can only imagine if HFBoards was active when 1st overall pick Joe Thornton had 7 points in 55 games in his first season.. We all know how his career played out.
Way too early to tell with Slaf.

Is this the worst thread ever? If you look back the last 25 years, you'll find more worse #1 picks.
