Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Naslundforever]

Right??? Not even an MSL quote to support the whole point of the article

It goes on and on too, like the guy knows what St-Louis is thinking; which is not too ”sane” imo. Guy saw a clip of Slaf got triggered and heard voices…

 

[Habano]

Kid has personality? Trade him!!!

Not yet, Laval first and, if he doesn't tone down his passion and competitive nature, then we trade him. Because you know, going to Laval fixed Xhekaj so maybe it can fix Slaf. How dare he be so passionate and competitive

Let him and Caufield refine the triple low five ala Subban/Price before demoting him

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

This is a false equivalency.

Personality is not the issue. Subban was a me first kind of guy. Slaf is team first.

Subban took a lowball offer and agreed to stay for well below market value. He loved being a Hab.

Let’s move on from this before it veers off.

Or gay boys (I'm not gay, but I understand gay boys have a big crush on him) because he is way more sexy than my girlfriend.

Man, I've been listening to that track the whole day.

Very critical of refs with speech laced with profanities at least twice so far at the tourney (shown on TV). A bit arrogant/cocky in comments.

Funny thing, totally unknown to me when I gave my thoughts, I found this link this morning:

Martin St-Louis n’aime pas l’attitude de Juraj Slafkovsky au championnat du monde

Juraj Slafkovsky est devenu une vraie bête de cirque au championnat du monde.

hockey30.com

Might be unreliable clickbait, though, so again I stress that I made my comments independently.

What a terrible day to be literate in French.

Pretty sure that’s not from the Synchronicity album.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I moved some Subban posts to the former players thread as it was starting to veer off topic.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Beside the point.

Perhaps. I would say it's cuddled up next to the point.

 

[BLONG7]

Slaf...is simply going to be a beast guys.............he just is.
The kid really wants to get better every time out.

Some in the Montreal media ( Norman Flynn ) wanted him traded in January for PLD???? LOL.

This is why some members of the montreal media can never be taken seriously.

 

[CanadienShark]

The summer of 2013 was… pretty funny. We had bridged Subban to a ridiculous low bridge deal and folks defended it. Then Subban wins the Norris and we wind up giving 9 mil later on. So incredibly dumb.

And then in the cheesiest move ever, MB trades the guy before the new deal kicked in. It was such a Bergevin way of doing things and encapsulates everything that’s wrong with him. What a stupid dumbass he was.

I defended the bridge, IIRC. Boy was I wrong.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

It’s okay for us to be wrong. We’re a bunch of schmoes on a message board. But MB is a GM and should know better. That’s not how you treat a player.

As for bridging Slaf, I’m not in favour of it. But if we do, I can assure you we won’t try to screw him.

Personally I’m in favour of a CC/Suzuki type deal.

Yes, there is a world of difference bridging someone at $2.875M versus say $6M

"I still believe I can be much better than I was, so I'll work on that," Slafkovsky said. "Be even better than I was. Everywhere. Everywhere. There's not one single part (that can't improve). I would say I can shoot better. I can make better plays. I can be better in the defensive zone. Everywhere"

This is why he's a gamer. That's a winning attitude.

 

[Tyson]

After decades of decent players the Habs may have finally drafted a legitimate future superstar.

We all know why they wanted PLD lol.

It’s so funny going back and reading the Slaf hot takes from all the armchair experts in the 2022 draft threads and old Slaf threads. Holy shit were the Wright proponents ever loud, incessant, belligerent, and condescending to anyone who didn’t agree with them. The one guy is the funniest of all though. He’s right there on literally every page lmao. Jesus Christ did he ever die on that hill

Just like the Michkov proponents right now. At least wait and see how Michkov and Reinbacher play in the bigs before yapping like a chihuahua.

Or see how things go, we could get Demidov at 5 and have Demidov plus Reinbacher which would be a favorable scenario to Michkov plus the right shot d after Levshunov this year.

Yep! a lot of odd premature takes. If you want a real hardy laugh,go check out the archives of what some experts were saying about KK,talk about downright ineptness.
