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

Jan 15th to end of Season:
* 40 games with 19:16 TOI
* 16 goals with 19 assists (0.88 pts/game)

Dec 21st to Feb 17th:
* 24 games with 18:53 TOI
* 10 goals with 12 assists (0.92 pts/game)

I think something around 0.8 to 0.9 pts/game is not a big reach for his 3rd season.

I. CANT. f***ING. WAIT. TO SEE WHAT SLAF HAS IN STORE FOR THIS YEAR!

He is our unicorn, and I suspect he is about to take the league by storm.
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...

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.

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

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!

No one cares
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.

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