Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Egresch]

Who are the 8 younger ones?

Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Benson, Cooley, Korchinski, Kulich, Minten. Last two are not really NHL players.

So if Slafkovsky matches or even passes Joe Thornton's point total of 41pts in his 2nd NHL season as a teenager after a poor statistical rookie season...does it mean he's going to be a Hall of Fame player and one of the best players of his generation?

It has too right?

Not sure how anyone can go against this logic. HHOF bound!

Guys settle down. There is some advanced stats guy on twitter with some fancy NHLe thing who says that he is trending to become a Justin Williams.

LISTEN TO THE MODEL! THE MODEL IS NOT WRONG!

Justin Williams? You wish. It's Jason Wiemer

Please tell me it's Marc Dumont

I thought about asking him if THE MODEL accounts for the age at the time of their D2 years. 19 for Slaf vs. 21 for Williams.

aaah, ok, so that's a new update. Going from Wiemer to Williams.

Williams was a very good player and a beast in the playoffs, but Slaf has a much higher ceiling than that.

Byron Bader admitted that his point equivalency for the KHL and NHL is 1 for 1. His model is so flawed it's actually a laughable joke.

Habs should resign Jordan Weal, 77 pts in 66 games this season, dude is probably listed as a superstar in Bader's model.

I really dig his new trick where he pivots strong back toward the D from his boards on the pp. Worked every single time yesterday.

If he starts doing the same thing back towards the net and wristing it instead of dishing to Matheson every time he’ll look like pp Kovalev.

 

[Rapala]

No.

Yes the NHL don't go taking goals away unless they are 100% sure. Even the broadcast crew admitted it was off the defender.
You do realize they have angles you don't see right. Slaf was moving his stick as if he was swatting the puck but he never made contact.

Never Ever post anything about "EyeGouger" side by side with Slafkovsky on HFHabs it's a sin.

I see ( ) someone is still holding grudges about 2006... So do I .

You need to be fast & correct. Miroshnichenko and Poitras are older than Slaf. You're welcome!

Thank you!! From my end correction is always welcomed.

Finding a comparaison for him is very hard! Very unique player. What a beast he will be, we’re lucky!

Slaf: most points by a teenage players in Habs' History. He's gonna turn 20 in few days.

Per my model the answer is yes.

only after we trade him for 3 middling players, sadly

Welcome to Montreal Zetterlund, Zadina and Vlasic

Really? I find it easy

He's similar to Jagr

Not just in size, but movement, decision making, biard battles, and vision.

I'm too young to really know Jagr, but his board battles for sure. Slaf uses the classic bump into my big ass move
