Some jabroni actually asked him what does he remember of Kovalev's 84 pts season in 2006-2007.
Man having that job must be amazing.

True haha.
Some people overreact with Slaf.
50 pts in his 19 and 20 years old seasons and some people complains. Come on.
It was accepted wisdom that those 2 were orders of magnitude better than Slaf. They very well could end up better but the gap is certainly not what people were projecting.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!
Arrogant, playing on instinct Slaf >>> trying to be a playmaker SlafI feel like his anticipation off the puck has been really improving lately, he's also talking trash and telling guys to FAFO like he does in team Slovakia. He's becoming annoying to play against.
Also has comparable numbers to Yakupov and Galchenyuk, this means absolutely nothing.He has comparable numbers with MacKinnon and Draisatl at the same age. Better than Draisatl. He's gonna be unstoppable in a couple of years.
I agree with the bold. I'm hopeful there's a click in his brain one day that goes: "20 feet from the net+ Middle slot=Shoot".Also has comparable numbers to Yakupov and Galchenyuk, this means absolutely nothing.
I dont like his game lately. He needs to shoot, he needs to drive the net. Hes a unicorn that plays like Pierre Alexandre Parenteau right now.
The bold part appears to me as a contradiction.I agree with the bold. I'm hopeful there's a click in his brain one day that goes: "20 feet from the net+ Middle slot=Shoot".
But he's the 3rd wheel on the best NHL line in the NHL since the 4 nations. He's certainly not an anchor. And he does much of the dirty work on that line, letting the two others worry about scoring. That's worth something.
Why such negativity ? Maybe you should look on the other side...shrimp Caufield is the weakest link of that line by far. Slaf is doing all the dirty work, but Caufield is a passenger.Also has comparable numbers to Yakupov and Galchenyuk, this means absolutely nothing.

Caufiled’s been disappointing down the stretch but he’s showing signs of breaking out of it. Great job of corralling the bouncing puck tonight.Why such negativity ? Maybe you should look on the other side...shrimp Caufield is the weakest link of that line by far. Slaf is doing all the dirty work, but Caufield is a passenger.
Can't wait for a Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Demidov next year so that Caufield can be relegated on the second line.
I hope Slaf continues being a bully and Hughes builds the bottom 6 in consequence.

Don't agree but Slaf is doing a lot of work on that line. This is a hot take I did not expect hahaWhy such negativity ? Maybe you should look on the other side...shrimp Caufield is the weakest link of that line by far. Slaf is doing all the dirty work, but Caufield is a passenger.
