Is Slafkovsky even gonna play this year? Sens played the Habs four times and he was barely noticeable to me
Slaf is likely starting the Habs but only cause Armia is likely to miss the start of the season. You are right though Slaf did not play all that well until the last 2 games and even then he was barely noticeable.
I don't think he'll win it or even be a finalist, but folks are kinda sleeping on Neighbours, who is looking like he'll begin with Schenn and Barbashev against 3rd line competition. Could even see some PP2 time.
