He was a beast tonight.
While the right move is to trade Monahan, he's been a very good center for Slaf lately.

Instead of passing he held on to it and didn't back off from Crosby I love that. Then powered his way to the net and almost scored. Gave me chills seeing him do that

Wow, such a smart play leading to a freaking beauty of a rush, just needs to finish. He needs to keep challenging dmen like that, he's big, strong and has good hands. Slaf needs to channel his inner Carlos Sainz...smooth operator.

Best player on the ice tonight barring Crosby

I really thought he'd end the game in OT. He's a very underrated playmaker.
Hope we start to see him more in OT, should be Nick Cole Matheson first unit and Slaf Monahan and Guhle second waive every OT
He is going to be so damn good... Sees the game at such a high level & has moments of great assertiveness.
As he keeps growing his confidence, the sky is literally the limit.
In 5 seasons from now, he'll be 24. Just entering his prime. Hard to imagine what kind of impact he'll have on the ice with 6 years experience and full physical maturity lol.
Future. Is. BRIGHT
Suzuki and Caufield are missing him
Thank you KH and Bobrov. The pressure to draft Wright was immense and they held on to their guy
Final word? I don’t know what that means. He sucked last year tho.
That short side back pass to Monahan from behind the net says it all.
That was special.
That was special.
Remember when so many pundits questioned his hockey sense? Yeah, good times.

They are stuck with #17, so of course they are missing him.

He does. It's incredible some of the takes here looking back. I read something about Slaf not even having U16 level IQ. That was such a brutal and inaccurate take that I would be embarrassed to post about hockey after it.

Seems happy enough dishing the puck, hopefully at some point he will make up his mind to go and score a few as well. I see the delays and sneaky good passes he makes, man it's not that hard to transfer that creativity into scoring goals. Just go for it man.
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

He has potential to command all 200 ft of ice like not even a prime Bertuzzi did (or could).
*No, I am not directly comparing him to Big Bert!

There is no doubt now that the Habs made the best pick at #1. Players that big and that skilled are a rare commodity
One of many signs he is good at hockey.
He'll be great.

Good thing he had less OT TOI than Dach until this point. Imagine the damage they’d have done if Marty played him more.
What am I missing, its a 5 minute period and he came on second shift? If he would have started, by that time in the game, his TOI would have been same.
This thread is so much better with everyone on the same page about Slaf. Any debate should be settled by now. (Mod)
It truly is a well deserved love fest for this kid!

This was the move that solidified Hugo as a braintrust imo. He took the unenviable position of taking a winger instead of the "franchise altering" C everyone wanted incl myself..
It's one of those drafts where people would look back and ask how the hell did Slaf go 4th/5th.. and yet Hugo not only got Slaf, but Dach too..
If it were MB, we would have ended up with Wright, no trades.. and la presse patting his shoulders.
Im still not sold on the Mesar pick, but wth do I know? It's for this reason that Rainmkr was absolutely the right pick at 5. Clearly Hugo has identified a culture, and is building around like minded individuals. Pro and minors... makes for a far more efficient depth system.. when the time is right, we will end up with a 1C via trade/picks/cap space.
We're litterally building from the ground up.. just sit back and enjoy the ride.
