Juraj Slafkovsky - Year Two

[Lafleurs Guy]

The problem is not his linemates, the problem is Slaf. Typical Slaf play is he’s behind the net and the front of net is free. Instead of taking the front of the net like everyone else and trying to score, he looks for a pass through a defenseman.

It’s not even bad luck that he’s not scoring. Anderson has double the shot and still hasn’t scored. Slaf has 7 shots this season. He’s declined so many, it’s ridiculous. Good players can shoot that much in one single given game. When Caufield was sent down he still Had the worst shooting percentage in the NHL. Slaf looks like he has not a single inkling of offensive bent in his mind.

If you’re going to have a young player up, the idea is to play him with good linemates to help bring him along. Of course that’s part of the problem. How could it not be?

With Dach we were set. Now he’s gone and it’s gone to shit. So now we have to decide if he should go to the AHL. That’s what I’d do.

He’s not giving them much of a choice. He should be swapped for Joshua Roy.

So is it Slafbustský or Bustkovský ?

This is my point. If you’re going to keep him up you need to play him with guys who can help him develop. I think with Dach it probably would’ve worked. But he’s gone and we don’t have anyone right now. Either he plays on the first or I think we send him down.

If they don't send him down, they should try him with Monahan. I'd be curious. Anderson is braindead.

I'm drunk and this is funny as f***

 

[Ezpz]

He was always the wrong pick for this market. He'll break out two years after he's traded from here.

*Turns it over on a clear exit, takes his sweet time to cover the point*

[Demigod Gloves]

I was so wrong with my Zubrus comparaison, Zubrus was at least able to play a physical game. This guy is a 235 pound muffin.

Armia 2.0. Saying it since Day 1

Armia was a high pick too

 

[the valiant effort]

Like, you get what Slaf wanted to do there, but the net is right there my friend

 

[CHarlie]

Hate to say it but you'd never guess he was a first overall pick.

While that may very well be the case..

...Have you seen this guy on an exercise bike?

ABSOLUTE BEASTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Riggins]

I'm all for patience... but having him in the NHL right now is a total charade. They don't want to destroy his confidence by sending him down? What's a 15 point 82 game season on the 2nd line going to do to him?

 

[River Meadow]

Armia 2.0. Saying it since Day 1

Armia was a high pick too

Armia was a goal scoring machine in Liiga, he has a killer and deadly shot.

 

[River Meadow]

If they're gonna bench Slafkowsky in Overtime...

Send the damn kid down to the AHL.

smh

 

[HeussLenfoire]

1st OA who doesn’t play a single second in OT in his second year

Get him out of the league, his place is not in the NHL

 

[Whitesnake]

For the love of the Habs fans and Slaf himself....please send him to Laval. Please. I don't see any downside.

 

[Mrb1p]

He had one shift in thr third. He should just be in the AHL. We know it.

 

[DAChampion]

Did Slafkovsky learn a lot in the game against the Jets?

 

[Final Baton]

Abysmal game by the kid. He has zero confidence right now.

If in 10 games he doesn't have several shots on net; I want the org to send him down to Laval.

Come on Slaf, prove me wrong!

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Another prospect rushed and likely ruined by Montreal. 3 Top 3 picks in 10 years and it seems that not a single one will amount to anything and they were all gone from the team within 6 years.

 

[Legend123]

He's just not ready at all. So unsure of what he should be doing

Send him down !
