Habs sign Slafkovsky to eight-year, $60.8M extension

[LesCanadiens]

This kid is hyper-competitive. Compete level off the charts. Now, if it's contagious and Laine catches even 60% of whatever Slaf has, we're going to have 3 monster-sized, high-skill, high-compete top-6 forwards in Slaf, Laine and Dach.

The gamble paid off. Skill and character over whatever Shane Wright has.

Funny. I went on to twitter to find a puff piece about Wright's best shape of his life... And I found a bunch of this stuff...

He's such an unlikeable guy. Generational, my ass. This is the punk who took all that spare time from Covid mandates to play golf instead of doing what other prospects were, like training hockey or finding other leagues to play in. He didn't do ANY hockey of any kind during that period. That's how high on himself he was/is. And it showed on the ice when hockey resumed.

48 points. Meanwhile Slafkovsky already hit 50 last year.

Shane Wright is more conceited and more lacking in self-awareness than JD Vance, and that takes some doing.

So you’re saying “master” MSL can turn him around too?

Shane Wright had a good season in the AHL. Could be a decent 2nd line C in the NHL

Yup. Perhaps he was significantly overrated, but he’ll likely have a long and decent career.

that would kind of make him a bust given he was first overall at 16, and was drafted 4th, that is not as bad as Mole territory, but close

Maybe. But personally I think he's better suited as a scoring winger. He's not good defensively. Has questionable hockey sense. And isn't a playmaker. But he does indeed possess an elite release.

at least I will always be able to say I saw his first ever NHL goal live,

Well I saw Jiri Crha's first ever game in goal for the Leafs in 1980 against Gordie Howe and the Whalers so there.

Sam Gagner comparable (maybe)

If you flip the balance of goals/assists, sure.
