Anyone taking count of the angry Habs fans with KK takes? If so, another participant…
I heard an interview with HC RBA that said they treated last year like KK was a rookie, because he needed development. What was happening with the Habs for the first three years?
You comment on it like he’s a failure…he’s a great player coming into his own and is just 21.
What’s your take about on Slak? I hope Habs don’t stunt the growth of another top pick.
KK should have played 1-2 more year in Europe before coming to the NHL. Also, Habs reached to pick him, he was ranked somewhere between 7-10.
Not saying he's a failure, i was just answering to someone saying GMMB made a mistake because KK will score 70 points this year, and my answer was what if he only scores 40?
As for Slafkovsky, at 6'3 238 pounds, he's already the heaviest forward in the league and still have room to grow. He's NHL ready, but need another year or two to produce points.
Once he's good enough to play with Suzuki and Caufield, he's gonna be the power forward they need. I don't care if he scores 50 or 80 points. Just do the dirty work.
