Yes, he’s played well since being moved up. However it’s only been a short stretch in the grand scheme of things.It was too soon to call Slafkovsky a bust after 40 weak games. It's too soon to say he's 'carrying the mail' (that's a good thing, right?) after ~12 strong games.
We'll need at least another two years to judge Bobrov's crucial picks during our tank years.
As I said a while ago, his progression won’t be linear. There will be two steps forward and one step back. And we’ll have tougher opponents ahead.
But we have seen really good progress in recent weeks. People are starting to see why we drafted this guy. That’s encouraging. But he’s not going to be a point per game player the rest of this year. I suspect we’ll see some see-sawing in his game as well as this thread.
