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!

This is fine
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.

Right now he's using his body like a poor man's Dainius Zubrus.

I know it seems soft but rather he sit out a few more games. Concussions are no joke and career ending. Might as well rest up another week in this nothing season where nothing is going right.

Rookie season getting criticism for not getting points. Third season getting criticism for not getting the right kind of points. Fifth season getting criticism for too many points?!

To say he does things good when he's not scoring is a straight lie. He's incredibly one dimensional.

I don't agree. He will never be a defensive dynamo, but he puts in effort at the very least, and he is a very good playmaker when he isn't scoring.

I can't fault his effort because it's true he's at least somewhat trying. Results aren't there if he's not scoring though.
He's a good playmaker ? Have you seen his assists numbers?

I said he is a playmaker when he isn't scoring. He is currently tied for the league lead in goals. Learn to read.

I do not think this is particularly correct with Slaf. For many goals, he was battling in front of the net, screening the goalie and got zero points even if he contributed heavily. But I agree that this season, he is not the game driver which is kind of understandable due to injuries and line changes.

He has at least 3-4 primary perfect passes to Caufield for his goals…
He’s not dominating the play like we know he can, that’s true. But he did contribute with great passes. Just need to find the confidence again.
