Everyone’s favourite failed video coach Jack Han has a video up on Slafkovsky:

https://jhanhky.substack.com/p/juraj-slavkovsky-video-breakdown

I’d recommend skipping past his intro to when he actually starts breaking down clips (about 4:00).

tl;dr guy’s obviously really good, has a tendency to get puck focused/chasing and is north-south biased in ways that would need to be worked on for him to be crazy productive in the NHL, but imo that’s lots of guys at his age especially when they’re used to being big fish in lower-level teams.

Fantastic to get rid of Mrazek’s awful contract but it’s a shame Dubas has to keep sacrificing good draft capital to cover for his signing mistakes

The difference of 25 to 38 isn't much

It’s not, and I’m sure the Leafs made the move because they can get someone they were targeting that low. But that move is an extra pick in the third or fourth if Dubas didn’t have to make yet another bad contract disappear.

I’m not against this sort of evaluation, but when it’s the reason you draft a guy who isn’t a plus skater, isn’t a good puck carrier or playmaker, didn’t put up numbers with mixed reports on his shooting… like, what is this guy supposed to actually do on the ice? I made a crack in the Offseason thread but it’s literally video coaches hiring guys who think like video coaches, at some point in evaluation you have to ask yourself what all this anticipation is worth in a guy with little physical talent.

Not to mention in a world where it’s pretty well proven you can still sort Canadian juniors by PPG and do well in the draft, Leafs had to grab a guy in the early second who had 55 in 67 games in the Dub? He was projected in the third round by basically everyone. Just big-brain nonsense.

lol what the gently caress does that have to do with playing hockey, which is entirely in the moment anticipation -- should be good for drafting video coaches though

I’ve fully converted into “Kyle Dubas is a bad GM” Leafs fandom. I hate it here.
