Les Habitants Prospects Thread

Wow did you just switched from bottom 6 to middle 6 mid argument? Not the same thing. We totally should develop middle 6 players, it’s the 4th liners I couldn’t care less. Sure it’s not for depth but you can always sign them for less than 1M or trade for them for a 5-7th pick.

Defensemen you can never have too many and decent depth D are still expensive and hard to get, so yes we should develop those. 4th liners however, I don’t really care.

Bottom 6 is the middle 6 , but I agree with fourth liners

However , you should have a plug on the fourth line ready to go

Middle 6 to me is 2nd-3rd lines, and bottom 6 is 3rd-4th lines.

Thats fine , my terminology was wrong

Draft picks shouldn’t be given away
But most NHL prospects are overvalued the second they’re drafted. It’s like falling in love after swiping right on a dating app. Remember the 87 page thread when we traded Danny Kristo?

For those of you ready to call Slaf a bust, I have two words: Adrian Kempe. Only took him 6 seasons in the NHL to establish himself as a star (he is). Patience needed.

Who called Slaf a bust?

I think whatever disappointment folks here have is more a function that the top of of his draft wasn’t the greatest. Not every year provides a Bedard or Matthews or McDavid. That’s what makes the NHL draft a bit boring, in my opinion.

As for Kempe, nice player but like you said, it took over half a decade, which is completely fine for a very late first rounder (29th).

When you come in last and win the ping pong game, you always hope for an immediate franchise changer

Some ppl don't wanna wait 3 years for Michkov so 6 years is outrageous

You didn’t just put Bedard in the same category as McDavid, did you?

let's just agree that he's not in the Slafkowsky bucket

 

[GrandWazoo]

I am.

Maybe he’ll prove me wrong, I like the kid’s personality but I just don’t see any elite in his game.
