Thread: Slafkovsky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>Whatever Hughes and Gorton do, they deserve humility from the fan base. Many fans act like they KNOW the right answer despite extremely limited information and basically never watching these players live.
Looking at stats sheets is not scouting.
I don’t know what the right answer is, but my gut leans towards thinking we’re taking Slaf.
Consensus opinion does not equal correct opinion.
There is a non-zero chance that Wright is overrated. Pretty sure we know what we’re gonna get from Slaf. A beast of a man who can score, skates well, and looks to me to be in the Svechnikov mold. And without the douchey personality of Brady Tkatchuk.</div></div>


I do agree, I have only watched some videos on youtube and looked at the stats sheet. I will support any player they draft because it would be unfair not to. However, Slaf is not an explosive skater, he can score but he cannot score from far out. I'm not saying he won't be a great NHL player but Hughes has said they will take best player available and to me that is Wright. If we were picking 2nd or 3rd they I would love to have slaf. I find it tough to pass on a guy that could complete a solid 1-2 punch up the middle for the next 10 years or so.

-Cambell's signing is at least $1.5M too low and Kase's is about $1M too high - Kase is just too fragile of a player to invest much into. I think it's just as likely he gets non-tendered this summer and Toronto signs a bottom 6 guy around $1M to play RW3.

-The goalie depth worries me but there's not a ton out there - I would still try and roll the dice on a veteran with somewhat of a track record before rolling with Kallgren as my backup.</div></div>

Yeah thats fair, I guess I saw Kase putting up 30 points last year and figured he'd be great on the 3rd line. I'm kinda thinking that Campbell takes a hometown discount but who knows.

I agree on the backup, would be nice for them to add a veteran guy on the minimum.
