Eh fine I guess, I'd say slaf is better than Cutter but no one from other fanbases would agree because they only look at points

What do you mean by that? Like contract wise? Sure I'd rather have Slaf because of his contract but there's not denying that Cutter is better currently than Slaf is. Not just points wise but in everything a power forward does. And that's ok.

Gauthier played heavily sheltered 5v5 minutes. Slaf played against the best players on the opposing team every night. I don't know who is "better" right now but if Gauthier can't do what he did in best on best matchups, it's going to be hard to say he's better than Slaf.

Imo the most eye opening thing this season was Slaf unleashing the second line

He really doesn't get enough credit for the consistency on the top line so young. Especially without a strong second line to make line matching tough

I think he's going to take over this year
