Karine Hains: In Hainsight: What to Expect from Juraj Slafkovsky What should we expect from Slafkovsky in his sophomore year?

a bit like last year, I expect 3rd line min with some PP time, and to learn to keep his head up!!!

Yup..

82 games

but I’ll keep them secret.”

I think 20g-25g and 45-55p should be the minimum expectation if he gets PP time...but that's the rub I suppose.

I see no need to showcase the players that noone will trade for anyways so make them EARN their ice time. Sending them down to AHL would look bad to other UFAs apparently, but if UFAs are worried about being sent down then do we really need them? If the UFAs are good enough they shouldn't be worried about being sent down.
If nobody claims them on waivers what does that tell them?

Slaf will take a big step forward in his development this year.

But we need to give him time.

canada, good afternoon.

I agree, Im not worried and people need to give him 3 or 4 years

its a process, not a sprint

how many 18years old made the NHL last season other than Slaf? like one guy at the end of the season (lol, for one game) and some games here and there with Wright

thats it pretty much

canada, good afternoon.

Remember that he was considered a bust that year and too slight to ever play in the NHL? That happened. These are expectations.

Warm?
