No. I will sh*t on him when he sucks because that is my right. I need to be heard.......:popcorn::laugh::sarcasm:

obviously agree that we should just enjoy the growth of our young players......
I agree to give him a bit more rope than say Dach, until that big contract kicks in. After that, he better be driving that Suzuki line.

Slafkovsky potential is incredible. We make such a great pick with him.

Some people speak like he can already put PPG season, but damm, he is a 20 years old player. Pace 42 pts per season so far in his career, that's very solid for a young guy.

I'm very confident that he is going to put PPG's season's when he is going to develop all his tools.

We give him a high contract, but this guy can easily explode anyday, he is a monster in the making.

Just a random thing that popped up.

I, too am getting a new vehicle, but I gotta go pick it up and get a drive there.

I don't know Kevy..

Aside from his vision and passing his actual puck skills all seem pretty mid-tier, unless I am missing something.

He's not a threat on our PP at all aside from passing to 13, 14 or 92, unless a shot hits his stick and he tips it in, he is not a real shooting thread on the PP (or even really 5on5). The best way he's a threat is to stand in front of the net and hope for a rebound. That is kind of discouraging.

Then you factor in he's not using his side and strength like he was in his half of last season, he looks like a completely different player, like he's just chillin now.

Maybe in the 2nd half of this season he will turn it around like he did last year.

But for him to be successful, he needs to impose his size/strength. He doesn't have the skillset to just be a finesse player and thrive, unless he's okay with being essentially what he is now, the grinder on the line he's on with some good vision and passing.

Last night’s Slaf was last year’s Slaf. Loved his game. Lots of power moves.

I love the dog in him, when he chirps, involved physically. That when he’s on his best.
