Quoting: GuyGuyGuy
Yeah, I agree with what you said.
I also agree he has been better than Cooley. The real question is more : Nemec or Slaf? It will be a debate for a long time. I think in the end Nemec might be better a little bit, but they will be at the top. I think both teams will be more than happy with the guy they picked
I wanted Nemec personally
As good as i know he is
There's this aggressive side to Slaf i didnt know existed
He's not just another Kotkanemi laughing at everything not taking it seriously.
Slaf is the Goofy kid a lot but you FA you'll FO with him as he'll keep Laying the Boom with Big Hits you until you stay down
I love the player he's evolving into
Good as Nemec is i dont see future #1 guy and Team Leader in Points(top 3 most likely every year but i dont see a Karlsson as much anymore)
With Slaf i see a Future #1 Guy in MTL who will lead the team in points especially once Hutson gets here.
Hutson gets a ton of points with Tuch and his Brother playing the same role down low along the boards and infront of the net that Slaf's made a name doing for himself
He's the kind of Guy that can create a lot of rebounds for his Centers to making it all around a wise choice long term to keep Slaf and invest in him.
I woulda killed to get them both though
