2025 NHL Trade Deadline

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

We are already small enough in regard to our talented forwards. We need Slaf to "hit," rather than trade him for Dobson. That's the point of Reinbuster, I was told.

apparently people still think you can win with 12 forwards under 6'0

I wish our entire top six was as big as Slaf...but right now, Slaf is not a top 6 player.

He has 8 fucking goals.

Less than Heineman who hasn't played in a month and never on the powerplay

Less than Armia who is fully entrenched as a bottom six player.

 

[lecoqsportif]

He’s only 20 and I don’t question his will to compete.

I worry about his confidence, more like Armia than Drouin.

 

[CH1]

Yeah. I don’t question his compete level but he looks lost 90% of the time and he straight up admits in his interviews that he’s not confident

 

[lecoqsportif]

I get the point about penny stocks.

But… to keep the analogy, it’s also possible you are selling low.

 

[GrandWazoo]

No one is. But not for Dobson. Take a look at the size of our better forwards. They’re not big to begin with.

He would not be my first choice, but dunno, if it comes down to it, I would think about it seriously. I'm not sure if Slaf will ever truly figure it out, there is hope, but there is risks. And there is room for both Reinbacher and Dobson on the right side, and I doubt Reinbacher will ever be better than Dobson.

I’m in no rush to trade him…. but I don’t view him as untouchable so if someone calls asking for him, I will listen

He's been on the first PP all year, and has 7 PP points? Evans has 6 SH points.

You have to listen on anyone not named Demidov

 

[CH1]

He's been on the first PP all year, and has 7 PP points? Evans has 6 SH points.

Slaf has 2 power play goals

Armia has 3 killing penalties

I think Suzuki and Hutson are keepers

 

[lecoqsportif]

For Dobson? Yeah.

I’m sure Laine is exactly who Uncle Lou would like

SLAF

Before he becomes a penny stock

Hughes said he told Slafkovsky:

“we didn’t draft you to be Jack Hughes, he does things you’ll never do, and you do things Jack Hughes will never do, we drafted you to be Slaf, so if you continue to play like Jack Hughes we drafted the wrong guy”

Cannots always think they can get good players and give up their shit

Must have lost his confidence when he heard “he does things you’ll never do”

20 is best when he lays the body on people, and maybe he needs a good fight or two to show he can be an animal out there. He has regressed this year to say the least but hope springs eternal.

Blunt.

So he’s a child.

Talk to him about Guy Carbonneau. 180ish points in his last year of junior.

Never broke 60 in the NHL.

3 Selkes.

3 Cups.

HHOF.

Adapt to the NHL.
