That the Habs and genius HuGoBo thought Slaf could adapt to the NHL without any intermezzo is genuinely baffling.I agree about his shot. It's like he's too tentative, it explains why he gets stripped of the puck so much because his decision-making is a tad too slow. Hence why he should learn in AHL, because the step between Liiga and its bigger ice and the NHL is enormous.
Because he has a monster ceiling. But he needs the right development to reach it, which we could argue he not receiving right now.Why gamble the 1OA on the guy who can’t breathe or think too hard?
I can't get over how easily he gets trucked when being big and strong was literally why he was drafted so high.
The guy who scored 10pts in Liiga has a monster ceiling? How exactly?Because he has a monster ceiling. But he needs the right development to reach it, which we could argue he not receiving right now.
That's monster potential imo. A Josh Anderson with skills is a player every team dreams of having.The guy who scored 10pts in Liiga has a monster ceiling? How exactly?
The unicorn thing I understand but more of a “strong, tenacious 70pt big body winger who can play through traffic and earn space” unicorn. That is to say, it’s all about his size. Which he doesn’t know how to use yet.

Steven’s left guys with scrambled brains. That ain’t a. Steven’s hit lol
Yes I agree — hence unicorn. But I wouldn’t say he has a crazy high ceiling. Two different things imo.That's monster potential imo. A Josh Anderson with skills is a player every team dreams of having.
Fair enoughYes I agree — hence unicorn. But I wouldn’t say he has a crazy high ceiling. Two different things imo.
It's a process and I agree, the past couple of games he has been involved, generating opportunities. Patience for sure.I thought Juraj has looked good the last couple of games. I've been wrong before but I think he will a good player and make an impact one day.
I'm not in a rush. He can play in the NHL. I'll give him another 100-150 games and see where he's at.It's a process and I agree, the past couple of games he has been involved, generating opportunities. Patience for sure.
My issue has always been with how management has decided to proceed with his development. You can see glimpses of his talent level and skill set.I'm not in a rush. He can play in the NHL. I'll give him another 100-150 games and see where he's at.
Dach is out for the season. Newhook hasn't convinced me. Getting another top pick would be ideal. Dach can heal up, Slaf & Reinbacher can grow and we can go from there

Let him play out his ELC. He's not Bambi out there but he's not a man yet. He's still very raw.After another 150 games, he better be at a finished product or we have a problem.

Josh Anderson's issue isn't skills, it's hockey IQ and decision making, same flaws Slaf has.That's monster potential imo. A Josh Anderson with skills is a player every team dreams of having.
I dont think you understand what I was trying to say. I wasn't referring to Kotkaniemi. I'm just saying he looks strong on his skates for a big lanky guy.That worked out really well for us with Bambi, didn't it?
A finished product after 150 games? lolAfter another 150 games, he better be at a finished product or we have a problem.

I would argue that Slaf sees the ice much better than Anderson. Slaf is also an underrated playmaker.Josh Anderson's issue isn't skills, it's hockey IQ and decision making, same flaws Slaf has.
