Writing this just from reading the title. Slaf wont be a superstar, a solid first liner maybe, a 70 point guy? maybe but a superstar, no.
He's a nice fit with Cole and Nick. I see him developing into a nasty power forward.
He's still young. I hope he watches a lot a video this summer and realize how he's lacking the competitive mindset right now. Similar problem that Josh Roy. We need to see him with more intensity all the time. He has the IQ, skill and size to become a first liner in the league but it's not going to happen without any hard work and change of mindset. He also need to work on puck control. That has been an issue.
🙌 YEET ‼️ Aaàaaand bye 👋
Please keep doing these over the off season lego. These videos were why i fell in love with your channel
For the Habs sake, I hope he doesn't fall into the Lafrienere trap here he showed brilliance in the playoffs and then falls off a cliff
I'd say Wright have just as if not more hype then Laffy going into their draft years.
Honestly was really impressed with him in the playoffs. I’ve been extra patient with him because they always say power forwards take longer to develop and he’s a euro on top of that. I mean look at Byfield, he’s finally breaking out years later. He’s a player the team needs, that size.
Juraj was an excellent pick. Good skills, size and demeanour. His personality allows him to excel in the pressure-cooker Habs market, where others wither (see C. Primeau). Gives the Habs 1st line some size. This line, especially with a decent 2nd line behind them will be dominant in the league for years. GHG!
Over hyped and over rated , not saying he’s a bust but he mostly gets carried by Suzuki and Caufield .
He’s terrible in his own end and for a big guy he doesn’t use his body nearly enough .
No real progression from his two previous seasons while his line mates got better .
Next year will be his 4rth nhl season so if he doesn’t show progress he won’t become a top tier player .
Slaf has had a taste now…
Slaf will come hungry next year.
As will the rest of this team…
Cannot be overstated.
