With hindsight, would you take Cooley over Slaf?

[Breakfast of Champs]

Cooley will get you regular season points, absolutely more than slaf.

Ideally for borh teams, we have a Nichushkin and Cooley is a Huberdeau.

One has a 115 pt season and the other has never hit 70 - but he was the best player in a SCF that featured Mackinnon, Makar , Kucherov, Point etc.

That's my hope at least.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Agreed.

NHL isn't a development league.

Shoulda started in the AHL and worked his way to the big club.



Slaf is on track to be our Danius Zubrus v2.0 at this rate.

Ridiculous. You start the player where you feel they belong. Not to mention when he started the AHL coach was a waste.

Yup, Cooley is gonna be a potential 115 point player and Slaf will likely never score more than 20 extra points than his second season. Do you even take yourself seriously?

Nichuskin would have more pts if he was healthy. My point wasn't that cooley was literally Huberdeau and slafkovsky was nichuskin - it's that not all players who post huge regular season totals are better than those who don't for a cup run.

Honestly if Slaf became what Nichuskin has been (when healthy and sober) we should all be ecstatic

Good to know you don't take yourself seriously.

Nuke was the best player in a SCF and was basically ppg last year before he went to player assistance. He's the kind of player you need to win a cup. If we get that from slaf it's a huge win. We can't seriously expect much more than ppg from him in his prime. Regular season production isn't my concern with him anyway, he could be a 65 pt player or an 85 pt player, it doesn't matter unless he drives the play in the playoffs.

That's just me, an unserious guy, though

Yeah you are. There's a reason you chose Nuke and you've mentioned it twice now. His addiction problems. You actually think you're being subtle with the clear backhanded compliment "Slaf might be as good as Nuke when he isn't on drugs." Clown take.

What? It's common knowledge the guy had issues. I'm strictly talking about level of play. If Slaf can be at a level of healthy Nuke that's a huge piece to a contender. You're just seeing what you want to see.

I chose Nuke because he's a 6'4 elite power forward. That's been a popular comp for slaf since he was drafted
