Proposal: Laf to Montreal

[UnSandvich]

Slaf is out producing him.

And is younger
And bigger
And faster

He's out producing him? Slafkovsky has 6 less points in 1 less game while playing 24 seconds more per game, with more than twice Lafreniere's PP TOI per game. Slafkovsky has 7 more PP points on the season, but 13 less points at even strength. Lafreniere's 41 points at evens would lead the Canadiens. As would his 34 points at 5v5.

 

[RationalExpectations]

this again ? I guess it s not surprising since the Habs have missed the playoffs and our fanbase is bored but still…

What they put in the water in NY? My good, some comments here are wow

Laf can say thanks to Panarin for turning him into a superstar

Dont bother arguing with this one. Notorious troll.

 

[gimbznyr]

Okay...assuming that right now, kreider, panarin, zibs, trochek, fox and shesty are all better or more valuable players than Laf. Are you telling me that the Rangers 7 best players are all better than the Habs best player?

Okay

Yes, the gap in the standings also indicate that.

there's no sense in trying to 'explain' Lafreniere's value to habs fans.. his value exists in the context of winning hockey. This is something modern Habs fans are either not interested or have forgotten how to recognize.

As opposed to losing hockey?

I hate to barge into your argument but Slaf has out produced Laf in their 2nd NHL season while also being on a much much worse team....

You are comparing Laf 4th year to Slafs 2nd. I wonder how much better Slaf will be in year 4.....

Obviously Slaf can't be compared to a rising superstar that is 116th in scoring in the NHL

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Slaf = S + Laf. Where the S stands for "Superior".

 

[Circus86]

The Rangers are in win now mode. Why would they trade Laf for draft picks? Makes zero sense.

But,but 5vs5 production bro. Think about it.

It's the other way around. Panarin is having a career year because Laf is on his side

Worse team = more ice time and PP opportunities

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Worse team = more ice time and PP opportunities

Slaf Year 2: on pace for 47 points.
Laf Year 2: 31 points
Laf Year 3: 39 points

There is no comparison.

There is no comparison.

There is if you contextualize.

 

[bud12]

There is if you contextualize.

As of right now, Slaf play like a 1ov. Laf never played like that in 4 years

 

[Junohockeyfan]

There is if you contextualize.

There isn't. 2 x years ago at this time, we were discussing whether Laf was a bonafide bust. And for good reason. I mean, you can argue he is a bust as a former 1OA.

In 2 x years, we will compare Slaf to what Laf is now. Laf being a 3rd line winger.

lol at this guy being absolutely outraged that the thread has devolved into "whose is bigger," while simultaneously spewing this kind of bilge.

Wow lol
Terrible take

This post was already debunked, I just wanted to pile on because of how bad it was

I'll have the hyperbole. Hell, make it a double.

Laf year 2: 29 EV points
Slaf year 2: 28 EV points so far

Its not as far a gap as Hab fans think

Triple

Outraged?

Move along...
