Loving this dominant run. The boys are beautiful to watch. I'm still dissapointed in what I see from Slaf this season, despite a few nice passes here and there. He's taken a big step back from last year and that 8 year x 7.6 mil contract scares the crap out of me. Without Suzuki and Caufield, Slaf would be just as effective as Michael Pezzetta out there.

[@razvanzamfir1545]

I agree Slag has been disappointing in production, but not in the body of work. He's not playing to his contract, but every rookie can have slumps. And I don't think pezetta will get those assists playing with Nick and Cole. In any case, cap is going up and we can trade Slaf in a few years if he becomes a Kaako situation. The main window of contention is starting with the 26-27 season when a bunch of anchor contracts are done

I don't know which game Dobes is starting next weekend, but if he puts up another big win and lets in only a goal or two, I want to see him playing AT LEAST half of our games going forward. The only reason we're in a playoff spot right now is because our scoring has gone way up in the past month and because he got us two huge wins against difficult opponents. Monty is doing nothing to help our chances, and if Dobes is the real deal and has another few solid starts in a row, he needs to be promoted to number one until he proves he's not good enough to be there or until Monty proves he is.
