As a habs fan, Slaf was simply getting used to playing with his size. He looked like Bambi on ice the first season but now he’s able to use his size to his advantage by protecting pucks and playing aggressive. He’ll only continue to get better from here, peripherals are great, deployment is great, the points are bound to increase

As a Habs fan, the difference I noticed was St Louis had Slaf hold the puck more in the Ozone and be more commanding on the cycle with better teammates that created space for him. Later on, he saw pp1 and was clearly told to shoot or pass on reception. Meaning he never hesitated, as soon as the puck came to him he was shooting or passing towards the net, while other players had the liberty to take a beat. This erased Slaf’s hesitations that were holding him back.

caufield projection too low, hes probably in his breakout year and will have over 40 goals. He had 37 assists last year. He can get 75 points

Slaf got moved to the top line and top pp but wasn’t getting the puck on the pp for about 10ish games. He was playing great on the first line but the points weren’t there. All of a sudden he got one and then the big games just kept coming. Game after game improvement. His ceiling this year could be point per game guy but his floor is at the very least imo 65 points

The Timo Meier hate is unwarranted. Him and Lindy did not get along. He was on 3rd line, and not on PP1... Lindy was fired and timo was moved up to line 1 and PP1. He had the most goals per game in the league their final 27 games.

Vilardi should do well, but I am thinking this new coach might get a brain and play Ehlers on the first PP where he belongs! That is just a no brainer.

I know he doesnt fit on this list, but what's the thought on Evander Kane? Do we know how long he's gone for? The guy is always money in bangers leagues.
@HelloTygr3 ай бұрын
Imo it seems like Jeff Skinner is basically ‘covering’ for Kane until he’s healthy, then he’ll drop lines later on, so drafting E.Kane late could be a really good sneaky play but there’s a decent amount of risk.
