I’m not ready to throw the towel on Slafkowsky yet. I see his problem as being similar to Lindros’s; they’re big guys and never had to keep their heads up in juniors, so they didn’t grow up with that mentality. But I hope St. Louis can impress the need to keep mindful of his surroundings.

Yeh I’m not saying I’m giving up on him - that would be crazy after one season - I’m just saying I’m not sold on him. Great point about juniors.
Power forwards can definitely take a good 5 years to mature into their role (and body size).
