Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

Some of the takes on this board are insufferable. No analysis, no research, just pure negative emotions. I wonder why I still go on here daily.

It's the believers excuse to keep face everytime their protected players fails, not worth the debate, it'll happen again with Slaf if he doesn't turn it around!
"nah he was good, Marty just ruined him" zzz

You're 100% right not worth the dabate when it's not gounded in reality.

I'm asking myself the same question but i'm a sucker for hockey so i guess it's like being stuck in a toxic relationship you wonder why doesn't he or she gets out XD

Last season don't mean shit now, if he's an 8 million dollar player he should prove it on any line. This Club Med blullshit has been killing the club for 30 years. Pat Falloon had a good season once, so did Alex Daigle, Yakupov's first season was solid in Edmonton. Primetime money should mean delivering on your contract moving forward.

He isn't skating, hitting, making plays, shooting.. he's playing like an uninterested kid who is going to be rich no matter what. I hate these contracts. One year, and boooom here's a huge contract.

If last season don't mean shit now why him not being paid 8 millions now means shit too?

Because you live in Shawinigan and there's nothing else to do?

I think there was bigger problem than MT

There were other issues.

But Therrien was a disaster for him. I can’t help but think that if we’d hired Larry Robinson, he could’ve helped with things. Instead we got the worst coach in the league.

Anyways, back to the topic.

When this team is going to start winning more games (I'm 100% sure when Demidov will play next year, 2nd year of Hutson and Laine healthy), this team will be better.

Slaf will play much more better, he want to win and this team will not make playoffs this year (very unlikely), so, maybe it's normal that he dont put his 100%, he want to make the difference and no playoffs, that hurt feeling of a player.

I dont said it's 100% that, but that's not help for sure.

So we want to do the Bergevin thing again? Guy has a good year, big money rolls in, and we are handcuffed?

Stu Cowan made a good point today
such a big man and falls down so easy. maybe the big fat wallet next year will keep him up.

Is it possible that Slaf didn't focus on right things during summer training? This is a common mistake among young players.

Top speed according to NHL edge is down from last year. Lot less rushes at 20+ mph
