Slafkovský being likened to Alex Ovechkin or Jaromír Jágr? Are you serious. I was at the Buffalo game and everyone on social media was bubbling over Slafkovský after the game. I still can't understand what all the fuss is about. Yes he wasn't terrible and actually he skated pretty good. But what your overlooking is he was the FIRST PICK OVERALL. And to me if your a first overall pick you have to dominate teams especially a Buffalo defense that had players that weren't even playing in the AHL let alone grown men in the NHL.
If you read what Joe wrote, he said that Slafkovsky's size and personality were what made him think of Ovi/Jagr. Nowhere did he write that Slaf is going to be as good as them.

No Joe did not say Slafovsky was going to be as good. My point was that the other media outlets were saying that he was the next coming of McDavid
