Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Mrb1p]

IQ measurement is something objective and not subjective.
Slaf's or Suzuki's IQ is what it is, it is not dependent on an evaluator.
One evaluator can have a bias, a generally accepted assessment by multiple experts is preferable.

The accepted assessment by multiple expert is that Suzuki has some of the highest IQ in the world, while Slaf does not.

seriously it was an awesome battle! slaf is gonna causing lots of problems for alot of players over the next 15+ years

Wait until he gets man strength. He's going to so physically imposing he'll make the league his bitch

 

[Gravity]

Only time I get IQ concerns is when I hear some of the dumbass questions the media has to ask him. Jesus Christ I swear some people's questions are literally mumbling thoughts into a mic.

Frozen Frames: How Nick Suzuki’s hockey sense drives offence

Expectations are high for Nick Suzuki in the World Junior Hockey Championship. He is a first-rounder whose skills have been hyped up since he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in the Max Pacioretty…

I think hockey sense is a very difficult thing to evaluate and whether Slaf has it to the extent of Suzuki, he's a good example of that considering his hockey IQ was underrated in his draft profiles (and by many on here).

It's a good joke.
One article does not represent a generally accepted agreement/understanding.

Very good point.
Not enough homework done regarding Slaf's IQ by the experts.

Bro I can't

I watch games and Slaf's IQ is not much behind Suzuki's.

That is certainly a take of all time

That's what I said, it is hard to setup a measurement of IQ.
For example, is passing one of measurements? I'd guess you would agree and yes would be your answer.
Is Suzuki A grade passer?

Yes he is, and Slaf is also one, but no it is not. You can be a great passer and have relatively low IQ, like Drouin, Hall, Bouchard or Slaf himself, and you can be an okay passer, but rarely a poor passer, and be a high IQ player. Weber was a good example of this, Plekanec too.

Just noticed that's Mats Sundin's stats at 21 years old, well played.

I don't think he can do 114 points but he's going to surprise us.

I'd rather have a 72 pts player with a Stanley Cup than a 114 pts player with no Cup.

It depends which team he won the Cup with I guess.

Why are we obsessed with 144 pts players and not obsessed with well balanced team? Why nobody here except very few want a C defensive specialist to shut down 100 pts players? And why many posters here think Dvo is that shut down specialist when his only speciality is winning face offs?

Suzuki is not going to be the highest earning player on the team forever. If Slaf starts producing close to Suzukis pace he’s not going to get less money because: 1) Nick signed his contract at the dead cap “era” 2) Players salaries are going to grow rapidly with the rising cap 3) First overal pedigree. That’s why 8/8 would be a bargain. Lucas Raymond for example is going to get close to 9 this offseason. If people expect a Boldy type of contract they are going to be disappointed.

Of course Suzuki isn't going to be the highest earning player on the team. He technically isn't now (Price is).

The point is that you Slaf will actually need to produce like Suzuki and likely impact the team more to actually get 8 by 8 or more. You're proposing Slaf get paid more now, not if he starts producing close to Suzukis pace.

Nick didn't sign his contract that long ago and by % of cap you're projecting raises for Slaf (and Raymond for that matter) that exceeds growth even in the non flat cap era.

I mean having 70 pts Habs players winning the Cup. I prefer that to having a 114 ts player without winning a Cup. This is a team sport, don't forget, we are not the Maple Leafs you know ...

It’s about future projection same as was done with Suzukis and Cole’s contract. If you want a potential bargain contract you must show some faith in the player. Slafs new contract going to start 3 years after Suzukis and he will be a year younger at that stage which is not insignificant. Just saying that in case he’s going to take another step in his development or even produce slightly more then the rate of the last 3 months he’s getting more then 8/8.
