Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Goalfield13]

After 31 games last year: 8 pts (2G, 6A)
After 31 games this year: 19 pts (4G, 15A)

Only 6 of those 19 points have been on the PP as well. Dude also earns those apples, as he has made some damn impressive plays. If this is him at his worst, giddy up.

He is good enough but at his age he isn't ready to be the play driver, that's why he excels with Suzuki.

I agree but he could help his cause by moving his feet more. He is sometimes late on plays and is guilty of reaching for pucks and taking big hits. I wish they would work with him on that alone to save him from potential injury.

I did think about that recently, maybe he's a late starter like many players.

Or maybe because he was simply playing with Dach. The guy produced everytime he got put on the 1st line unlike Dach/Newhook. His play wasnt awesome like last year but he was still on the scoreboard

Slaf also produced in the 3-4 games with Dvorak/Gallagher , he had 3 pts over over those games.

Sad to see this now after what we saw last season. Good news is we know he can do it.

I swear this is a criticism on Slaf since his Game 1 in the NHL.

 

[boompuffboom]

love Slaf, but i'd change/work on the following.

Better tape job + shorter stick

Balance + core

Watch Corey Perry videos

 

[McGees]

Give him Evans and Heineman.
Kirby and Newhook need relegation.
