The word consensus has a very clear meaning.
It definitely doesn't. (And there's a wide consensus that it doesn't – just google a bit.)

Stop spreading crap. Yes he was consensus first overall. And that’s actually pretty impressive considering Wright had been heavy consensus leading up to the draft.He was not consensus 1OA. The word consensus has a very clear meaning.
Correct. He was the consensus number one.Well I know you and I did not have him there but the McKenzie poll is the closest thing we have to a scout consensus and it said Slaf was the 1OA for a majority of scouts. And if we look for other rankings he was a top 3 pick everywhere.
Consensus does not mean “narrow edge”. It means a significant agreement.Stop spreading crap. Yes he was consensus first overall. And that’s actually pretty impressive considering Wright had been heavy consensus leading up to the draft.
He was ranked by almost every scout as a top two. He came from behind to take the number one slot by the majority of scouts. It’s totally fair to call it consensus here.A narrow edge is not a consensus! Consensus has a meaning, it doesn’t mean narrow majority!

Move on man.
The Canadiens will have to do a much better job of developing him.No.
I refuse to believe he fooled the hockey world. Because implying he has no skill kinda imply that.
Slaf performance will speak for themselves, for the better or wrong.
Yes, it’s fair to say in the last month of the season he was consensus top2. Late riser.Slafkovsky was a consensus top-2 choice according to scouts, with a plurality ranking him #1.
Wasn’t a late riser, at all.Yes, it’s fair to say in the last month of the season he was consensus top2. Late riser.

Plurality of a MINORITY. It's 10 scouts, not the whole league. If we would do a meta analysis of all the major rankings, there was no concensus. A concensus is a wide majority in agreement.
Being 1 vote up out of a minority of 10 (of 32) is not concensus.
He was 4th in September 2021 on Bob’s list. 5th in January 2022. Not late whatsoeverWasn’t a late riser, at all.
It's called a sample. I don't see the issue unless you can demonstrate that the sample is not representative.
To be honest, him getting rid of the puck quickly is what makes me think he's a surefire nhler. What he needs is to gain some confidence and know when he can try and create space or make a play, even if it isn't the high percentage play. Stars generally have that in them.hey guys, casual viewer here. I tuned in and stayed up until 3am to watch my fellow countryman slafkovsky for the first time this season. I missed the first few minutes of the game and Juraj's goal (lol), but a couple of observations anyway, FWIW:
- Man, he can look really awkward at times, can't he? with his weird upright posture, low output, far away from the play, seemingly watching, not engaged.
- He scans and turns his head a lot, I give him that, but the puck rarely seems to find him. And when it does, he gets rid of it quickly with one-touch passes.
- However, I really thought he was growing into the game, getting to the puck more and trying things with the puck on his stick. The sequence before Suzuki's goals was very impressive. He also made a couple of solid plays on defense. Hopefully just a stepping stone for bigger things to come.
your team is rough, though, not gonna lie
The Canadiens will have to do a much better job of developing him.
5 vs 4 is not a concensus, even if you wrongfuly extrapolate that to 32 votes.
Furthermore, Bob mentioned they did further probings where both players ended-up equal.
He did not have a weak game at all. The Suzuki Caufield line created more chances with Slaf on the wing than any other winger this season...Slaf had another weak game but better than the previous 7-8. He should be in Laval with players of similar skill at the moment. He needs a solid month or two of positivity in his game to build his confidence and swagger back up...then they can reevaluate.

He needs to play with better players.To be honest, him getting rid of the puck quickly is what makes me think he's a surefire nhler.

As a casual viewer focusing on one player all game, hoping he shows flashes of brilliance, it's possible I'm confusing highlight-reel plays with quality, when it's probably better to keep it simple and not turn the puck over. which he does most of the time, tbhTo be honest, him getting rid of the puck quickly is what makes me think he's a surefire nhler.
