Juraj Slafkovsky - Year Two

[Habssince89]

I disagree that he hasn't improved in some areas. I think saying he's made no progress is incredibly incorrect. I do think he should be sent down if he's going to play with Anderson and watch his passes die. I think slaf has improved his balance and self-protection in case you're wondering.

We all talked about what a project he would be, and how we would need to be patient, and I think far too many "Fans" are quick to jump on him for not immediately producing. We saw the same overreactions when Barron was looking weak on his skates, or before Dach broke out. Slaf is making very slow progress, and while I'm not happy that he's struggling, its just a part of the development process. Slaf is a #1OA in a weak draft, we can't expect too much too soon. Patience is key.

I think if a player is not ready for the NHL, he needs to be sent down to where he'll have an easier time developing. That goes for any candidate including this year's draft.

Players like Fantili and Carlsson are the only type of players that deserve to stay up. They're both strong and have a good hockey mind.

 

[HuGort]

As an aging Habs fan I just want to witness one more Cup win for this fabled franchise and youngsters like Slaf are incredibly important for them to be brought along properly. Like I keep saying, I hope management knows what they are doing.

You can't be that old

Yeah I signed up for a college course starting next month on Emoji meanings 101.


Didn't Jumbo hit 41 points the following season?

Yes but we are talking about the 12th best scorer of all time i mean 41 points is peanuts for such a player. I would have told you after his 2nd year that Joe Thornton would eventually become the 12th best scorer of all time and you would have laughed at me and i would have laughed at myself too. Even his 3rd year was not that great for a player like him. 60 points in his 3rd year is his worst season (excluding geriatric Joe past 37). 60 points is almost half the production of his best seasons ... it's 32 less points than the total of assists of his best seasons.

So do we bring Dorion as the director of scouting or Senior Advisor for the scouting department

Assistant to the General Manager

Yeah, could you name that Star player for us..?

Jurajomir Bustkovsky

 

[cphabs]

I triple dog dare our front office to trade him to Tampa for any player on their roster.

I watched Jean Beliveau skate the Cup around Chicago stadium in 1971.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Because he has 6 points in 6 games in the AHL. I've read ridiculous things around here but this take the cake easily. I would not know where to start but :

Sample size determination - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

My God, where were you after the first game? 1 game, 1 assist and people thought Slaf had 'arrived'. I guess the sample size was big enough then.

 

[Tabarouette]

Yeah, could you name that Star player for us..?

I just think it's a little early to start calling Doug Wickenheiser a bust

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

but what about JOE THORNTON

What about Jack Hughes?

There is only a portion of fan who is living in misery.

I live in misery when I see such bad phrasing

 

[sampollock]

yup

This is what we call good ol’ cherry picking examples. So people are allowed to use Thornton’s rookie season in comparison to Slaf but bringing up that he got better in his sophomore season is to be forgotten because we know he would go on to be one of the best players of all time?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Gorton would have to go away first as Bobrov seems tied to his hip.

I'd like Dorion as head scout.

 

[Team_Spirit]

I will tell my kids this is Gretzky & Lemieux

 

[EveryDay]

It would be best for him honestly....

Slafkovski-Stephens-Roy

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Assistant to the General Manager



Jurajomir Bustkovsky

You're not doing it right. It's Juromir Slafbustsky and Shane Wrong.

 

[Tyson]

At the very least separate him from Anderson

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

At the very least separate him from Anderson

Trade Anderson already

 

[Jaynki]

I live in misery when I see such bad phrasing

How many language do you speak?

 

[the]

Also Newhook and Andy could use a winger with more hockey sen… I mean confidence.

Pretty sure Caufield and Suzuki said the same about Donkey Anderson before he got demoted.

Being patient means to send him down.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Depends on what you refer to as speaking. Fluently, both French and English. A bit of; Spanish and Deutsch.

But that's not the point. The point was... i was just jesting.

 

[EveryDay]

Once Dvorak is back Saturday, send him down and put Newhook back as a winger with Monahan.

Newhook-Monahan-Ylonen/Pearson

 

[Habssince89]

Read my post again. Im not saying he shouldn't go to the AHL

 

[Skip Bayless]

LET HIM COOK.
(in the AHL)
