He’s much better than Thompson was at his age and stage of development. Different type player also.Hopefully he turns into a Tage Thompson in his mid 20’s.

zubrus was a useful player but not at #1 OAPlaymaker in a Power Forward’s body. Danius Zubrus.
Easy to say, harder to do when that’s clearly not his game. I like Bully Dickhead Slaf too but it seems hard for him to play that way.
What’s good if he embraces the crash-bang-react style is no matter the line or team mates his play should be as useful and efficient, unlike a pure passer or shooter who needs to play with complimentary line mates. Stats might go down but that changes nothing to how useful that solid player could be at maturity.zubrus was a useful player but not at #1 OA
Needs to make a few biker friends. Habs look sweet and all but barely any can even grow a beard and even the vets look like my grandma would have trusted them to babysit the kids. Even the « tough » ones look like teady bears making eyebrows.I've played hockey with/against a lot of big guys who had all the tools - but never reached their potential because they lacked meanness. Slaf reminds me of that.
I have plenty of patience and have been preaching the same, however he needs to take the next step and now is a good time to do it.We haven't seen the real Slaf yet, be patient.
Can he embrace that style every night? Doubt it’s in him. So inconsistent, at least he’s still young.What’s good if he embraces the crash-bang-react style is no matter the line or team mates his play should be as useful and efficient, unlike a pure passer or shooter who needs to play with complimentary line mates.

He's already got the paycheck.Not f***ing hard. Tell him FORECHECK, BACKCHECK, PAYCHECK.
Yeah, he needs to be more aggressive and hit more like Knies.....Slaf need to play like Knies
I'm sure he's long used to know nothing emotional outbursts from social media posters.He better have strong playoffs , cause he gonna learn it the hard way in Montreal.

I really hope so. Right now Knies is trending to be a better player than SlafI wonder what Sla's impact will look like in 18 months from now (when he's Knies age).
My bet is that not a fan on this board will wish he was "more like Knies" lol
He has more hits than Knies this season.Yeah, he needs to be more aggressive and hit more like Knies.....
Knies shooting percentage is at 20% this season it’ll go back to normal eventually and won’t score as much next season. He also produce less than Slaf 5 on 5 while playing with Matthews and Marner. All this while having only 6 more points right now, lol.I really hope so. Right now Knies is trending to be a better player than Slaf
On the score sheet , Slaf has more hits. But he doesnt deliver crushing hit enough. Anderson is a much better hitter than Slaf.He has more hits than Knies this season.

I could do with more crushing hits, but at this moment, my biggest criticism of his play is how slow he is to react.
Last night, Caufield dumped the puck, Slaf was F1...but he was so slow to react that Suzuki who was behind him had to turn on the jets to save the play. I feel like Suz and Caufield are getting frustrated with him.
