True haha.
Some people overreact with Slaf.
50 pts in his 19 and 20 years old seasons and some people complains. Come on.

They’ll say they’re saying it when he plays great, though.

These fake compliment posts are the best. Kid is already a 50-60 points player. Good thing we didn't pick useless players like Carlsson or Fantilli, those busts might not even score 50 points in their D+2!

Those guys will get better. Slaf won’t.
Only every other young player will get better except Slaf. Big kids are always finished products at 20. Well Slaf is at least, every other big player takes time.

Slaf 2nd half of season since last year his the reason why he have been selected 1st overall.
He show more potential than Fantilli and Carlsson, but some people still complains lol!

Imo His defensive play on that goal is an example of why the Habs approach to his development was spot on.
He makes defensive reads and executes on them at a much higher level than the typical skilled top 6 player his age... and not the kind of thing one easily develops when focused on putting up big numbers while "dominating" lower levels.
The habs & Slaf were aligned in helping him build winning habits from day one. The "cost" was sacrificing some early production, the payoff we are watching unfold in real time.
He's going to be a dominant NHLer in his prime. Ppg + player that cam ahitvdiwn opposition top players.
Future is bright

He's producing at a very good 5 on 5 pace, similar to many established top line guys. All of that while being responsible in the dzone and especially neutral zone at his age.
Imagine if he could become that Marian Hossa kind of player. A 35-40 for 75 points avg while playing a two way game. If he could develops those defensive attributes and with his size and board & net presence... a real beast in every sense of the word. I'm still picking Slafkovsky 1st overall in a redraft 100% any day.Imo His defensive play on that goal is an example of why the Habs approach to his development was spot on.

I like slaf but if you are taking him over #48 in a redraft you have lost your mind

There's not a big jump in production this year, but in terms of substance to his game, there is definitive progression.
Just hoping to see more aggressiveness and assertiveness in 1 on 1 battles all over the ice.

In a redraft Slaf would still go top 3. I don't see anyone but Hutson and Colley in front.
Hutson was never in the discussion for 1st overall. It was between Wright, Cooley and Slafkovsky. I believe the habs made the right choice. I completely forgot Hutson was in the same draft. Amazing draft by the Habs. Might end up with the 2 best players of that draft year... insane

Some people love to find things to nitpick about his game, and it's far from perfect still but he is slowly developping into an absolute workhorse

Loved his game today. He’s starting to be an handful for the opposition.

he’s learning to use his body to build separation and buy himself time with the puck. Rushing plays less. Less plays die on his stick. The consistent improvement is great to see. Would love to see what he can do in the playoffs
Slaf is at his best when he enter the "cocky" mode

Closer to the playoffs means one step closer to blondy spinky hair Slaf

He really was *born* to be on that line with Suzuki - Caufield it's crazy lol,
He's exactly what that duo needed and Hughes and Gorton gambled on it and it's going to pay off
He's just showing glimpses of what he can become if he keeps working hard, still ridiculously young

I love how he pissed off every Czech player on the Bruins' team. Was dominant physically and had some great passes and scoring chances. Impressive improvement compared to his rookie season. He just needs to learn to be second half Slaf all year long now.
