An analyst is not liking the way St-Louis is coaching Juraj Slafkovsky and was very direct about it

Last night, on the program L'Antichambre, after the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings, RDS analyst Gaston Therrien mentioned this:
"I think Martin St. Louis needs to make some adjustments. He hasn't played Slafkovsky, yet, and he had said he was going to adjust. [He's having a hard time getting him ice time. [...] If he can't play him, he can't keep dragging him along. You can't be afraid to send him to Laval.
I think that at 9:34 (his playing time in yesterday's game), he won't learn anything. I don't like this way of proceeding with a youngster.
Do you agree with his words and this warning to Martin St-Louis?
He points out that Martin did not respect what he had said on Wednesday night, which was to find a way to make Juraj Slafkovsky play more.
Remember that the number 20 played for 10 minutes and 34 seconds against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he played for 9 minutes and 37 seconds yesterday in Detroit.
Thus, one action is claimed by the expert: send Juraj Slafkovsky to Laval. He is not the only analyst to have made this request.
