I've been impressed by Slafkovsky's play since the 4 Nations. More physically engaged and sharper with the puck. He seems to be playing much stronger and bullying guys off the puck more. I'd like to see his development continuing in this direction.

This physical aspect of his potential was one of the main reasons we drafted him. We need him to physically dominate on the wall and down low, come away with the puck and body position advantage, and make the play that's there. He seems to have a pass first tendency, but if he comes off the wall with the puck and body position advantage on his check, there should always be at least one good option whether it's a pass, shot, or taking it hard to the net to create a net front scramble.
