I know he is young but I expected a but more in year 3. He looks slower and sluggish. He is incredibly soft for a 230 pound player. I hope he steps it up next year when his new contract kicks in. It was difficult not to notice how insignificant he was last night.
 
Well, he has been disappointing. It seems like he is trying, but just not getting there.
He's been underwhelming but not terrible.

Still think he was the right pick. He had such a great second half last year I was hoping it'd carry over but this is par for the course when developing young players.

Again, it will be years before we know if he was the right pick or not. But he's got all the tools to be a special player. He just needs to put it together. We've seen he can do it. He just needs to do it consistently.

Reactions: Tyson
People laughed at me that when i said he needed seasoning in the OHL and AHL before jumping into the NHL.
Guy was learning basic hockey in the NHL. It was obvious he was bad from the rookie camp
Habs need to be more patient with their young players, let them all marinate in lower leagues until they dominate. I agree that Slaf would have been better served there as the pace is a bit slower, in the end he will still develop fine though.
