Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Egresch]

Dec 16th to end of Season:
* 53 games with 19:12 TOI
* 18 goals with 25 assists (0.81 pts/game)

Hoping for another healthy 80+ game season with around 60 points.

I mean I watch this kid for like 5 years and it is really hard to stay calm for upcoming season. If he stays heathy and stays the same pace, he would be 82 games x 0.81 = 66 points. 66 sounds a lot, but I am really struggling to imagine how he does not improve especially with Hutson and Laine on PP.

I look forward to Bell Center opening night when Slaf is introduced. This will be actually the first time when he enters the season as a teams star. I remember 2 years ago, injured Carey got the loudest ovation. Now, atmosphere will be electrifying for fan favourites like Xhekaj, Hutson, Slaf, Caufield, Laine...

Laine should get a big ovation too, people will appreciate a player of that calibre joining the team

This makes me think they are expecting a monster season from him

My prediction is that he will dominant this season. I hope so anyway

 

[ahmedou]

He's set some goals for this season. But he isn’t going to share what they're. He says he’ll let us know if he reached them at the end of the season.

Suspense suspense!

 

[Tuggy]

He looks in incredible shape.

I think his potential and ceiling is unknown at this point.

I fully expect him to hit the ground running this season.

I can easily see 30g, 40a even + this year from him.

 

[OldCraig71]

I want to see him improve his awareness along the boards. He should no longer get rocked by big defensemen, and it would also be cool to see him dish out some big hits along the way. He is an excellent passer as a winger and has the size to make his own room in front of the net. If he is healthy, it is possible for him to be in the 60-70 point range.

This chad's going for a PPG season, mark my words fellas

This is what I have been saying. Confidence and mindset is essential and separates the great from the good. This guy will be a superstar in the league. Top 10 winger as early as March. Mark my words right now.

 

[McGees]

Slaf...slowly becoming a legend.

I agree, he has the swagger.

Seeing what’s on the horizon for Slaf, I keep remembering Jagrs comments about him 3 years ago “ he looks like a younger me!”
