Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Harry Kakalovich]

Concerning his shooting, I find that Slaf has shooted quite often to D in front of him. His shots are blocked quite often. It's not just the last game, it seems like his trend. I find his shooting decision poor; sometimes he should shoot more, but he doesn't, sometimes he shouldn't shoot, but he shoots.

His passes too.

Even if he don't play his best hockey (team are not too good aswell lol!), he have 8 points in 9 games. That's a really good news. Last year, he played good in the beginning, but don't have points.

He have all tools to dominate, I just want to see him shooting more, but I'm very confident about his game, physical, passing, hands, defensive... he have all that!

Happened last year, hopefully we have not plateaued because it will be a cataclysmic disappointment.

Too bad he can't go to the AHL

How much do you think he was paid more to sing the jingle? You can see his soul leaving his body.

He reminds me of Caufield in that way. When Caufield isn't scoring, he still does other things well such as causing turnovers and making great passing plays. He always gives effort as well. Slaf is always useful like that out there, and he is still super young as well.

I find that NHL is very generous in giving credit to the point. It happens a lot that a player doesn't truly contribute to the goal much, but the player still gets the point. So far, Slaf hasn't been impactful. He's collecting points, but not a real driver in those goals.

It's like Suzuki who struggled in the first few games although he was still productive Ipoints wise). Suzuki gets better lately.
