6 shots in 6 games. He needs to go down. He's not going to learn to be an offensive force if he's forced to just survive at the NHL level rather than learn to play offense and thrive at higher levels. It's not like the guy was an offensive presence in the Liiga.

LAF with another goal tonight!
Is there a Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy in his (near) future?

He has been worse than Daigle, Yakupov and Stefan. Impressive to be that shitty.
Not even close. Just off the top of my head Patrick Steffan comes to mind. At least slapsquatch is big, so that's something.
Juraj Slafkovsky is 19-years-old. There was a time when he wouldn't have been old enough to have been drafted by an NHL team, but we're discussing him possibly being the worst #1 ever? Maybe this thread should be shut down for a few years.

The Canadiens are ruining him with this usage and deployment. I have no idea what St. Louis is thinking. Slaf doesn't look like an NHL player right now and it's mostly not his fault. He should not get another NHL game in calendar year 2023. Send him to Laval and re-evaluate after New Year's.

yep don't look good ,he seems lost send him AHL and bring Roy in the big show
They shot themselves in the foot by starting him in the NHL because now it'll be seen as some big demotion even though he's never belonged in the NHL. What are you doing drafting a guy you say is a project and treating him as if he's an NHL ready player rather than a project?
Watch the games people, Slaf is playing just fine using his big frame to win puck battles, making good passes with his line playing some good defense. Points will come but sure look at hockey DB and give us your your expert opinion...
I love developing my 1OA to be a plug

Who cares if he can play hockey, has he learned French yet?
Pfft bust. Call me when he wins a Vezina.

Yeah. Or Draisaitl with 2 goals, 9 points in 37 games in his first season.

I find the stigma of you must play the 1st overall in the NHL kinda funny especially for the "lesser thought of" funny. Like no one would have batted an eye if they put Slafkovsky in the AHL considering the overall thought of who ever would go 1st

Some people around here were insistent he shouldn’t be in the NHL last year. Man we’re they right.

I meant for management. Who was the last 1st overall to not spend basically the whole year in the NHL?
