Marty having conversation's with Slaf. I have no idea what they're discussing, but if I were Marty, it would be like.. "Step it up big man, you're not doing enough, we need more from you, use that body more."

Slaf seems to be affected by confidence or a lack of confidence than most players. We've seen him use his skating, strength and hands to get around defenders and create space for himself but if you aren't confident that you're going to get around a guy and you second guess yourself, you're not going to get around him. Also there's times when he gets a bit of an open path in the offensive zone, he's freezing and looking for someone to defer it to instead for instinctually attacking.

This is all stuff that can be improved on or eliminated with more experience. Coaching staff just has to keep managing the highs and lows until he figures it out. Ideally your first overall isn't still a project in their third season but it is what it is. I believe he will figure it out.
