Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[JD1]

lol what a great assumption! I didn't look at your post history at all. I visited the polls section for the first time in a while yesterday, opened a few polls, stumbled on that one and l was curious to see who would be so biased to vote for that ridiculous option and your JD1 name was listed first lmao

Thread 'Asset Value - where does Nick Suzuki rank in the NHL?'

Apr 2, 2025

Hypothetical question - Habs decide to put Nick Suzuki on the trading block this off season. In a vacuum, how high is his trade value vs others? Is it higher than if Oilers do the same for McDavid and his expiring contract? How about Marner? Hellebuyck? And every other player too...

In a vacuum - where does Nick Suzuki rank as trade/asset value across the league?

Consider everything - including age, ability, contract, etc. The one element you should ignore is how likely a team is to trade a player, and instead focus on what the player would be worth if they were traded (ie, it's not...

ok so on top of everything, you can't read? The title of that poll is "Asset Value - where does Nick Suzuki rank in the NHL?"

It has nothing to do with how Sportsnet and TSN ranked him BEFORE the season... I mean do I really have to answer this kind of argument?

I'm not bookmarking anything, you're completely off the rails lmao

Suzuki is rightfully getting a lot of accolades around the NHL that you like it or not, you can choose to stay in denial if you want. Reminds me of these Leafs homers who look down on Tim Stutzle. I personally can eat crow and recognize that I have underrated him in the past.



Sigh... There's plenty of smaller NHL players who do really well in this league, we're in 2025 by the way. It is a team sport and the roster as a whole is what matters. He's being paired with a guy who is 6'3 and pretty tough. Crazy coming from a fan of a team who drafted Erik Karlsson.



Suzuki has the 9th most points among Centers since last season. Michael Hage is a pretty good prospect. Beck is an excellent 3rd line C prospect with a high floor much like Greig was. Dach and Newhook were tried but good thing it didn't work. Their GM is 10 times smarter than our ex GM was so you can expect him to look for a solution at #2 C, they have a lot of good picks and prospects so they have assets to find a solution.



lol just adding on the ridiculousness, not really surprising though, poor little homer heart hurt by facts. Try to find these "pumping posts" that date more than a year for fun, I'm ready to pay for each one. And even now, I 'm not really "pumping" the Habs at all, I am answering posts on the subject and recognize their talent like I am doing for plenty of other posts talking about other teams in the "around the NHL" thread but right now it seems that the Habs is the hot subject. I guess I am a fan of every team except the Sens derp derp lol

Seriously, I see this "trolling" as maximum 12 y/o mentally, c'est tout à ton honneur

You forgot to say hab fan coming in peace

Toronto better get a point in the next two games because I do not want to face this Tampa team.

They look like they are in cup winner form.

 

[BondraTime]

I agree he's had a better year. But he's 3 years older posting his first ppg season. Stu has one ppg season. Suzuki currently has none.

So as stu enters his prime, how many do you think he'll post in the next few years?

I'd imagine he has at least 1 in the next 3 years.

Stutzle is currently in his prime. He’s an explosive player, we’ll see how he does in the playoffs.

f*** the Habs. Hope they miss out right at the end here. Doubtful, but you never know. Just gotta hang on to that sliver of hope.

When you’ll start saying « stroll not coming in peace »

It’s getting close man, Jackets are winning this tonight so they just need one more regulation win. And if the Habs lose in regulation, they’re out.

 

[starling]

Boston going into OT nice. Could leap frog 2 teams from the 4th last spot.

 

[BondraTime]

David Carle is going to be the next coach for Bedard in Chicago.

Real happy for him, had a real rough go of it as a young guy and lost his career as an NHL player.

Real happy he’s found a great career in the sport.

Saw that. I'm still hoping. 1 down, 2 to go. An epic collapse for their hated rival would be a nice cherry on top for the Senators season.

 

[GCK]

I’m feeling better about my draft year take that I’d consider Fantilli over Bedard.

 

[SanderSen]

Sweaty times in Montreal. Jackets have an easier game against the Islanders who are busy polishing golf clubs, and the Habs get the Canes. Carolina has clinched but I's rather face the Isles for the last game.

Interesting that a win in regulation is really needed by both teams, since if both win but one is in OT it does no good. Tie breaker will be wins in regulation.

Isles also have the opportunity to play spoiler. That can be a big motivator for some teams.

 

[PlayOn]

Wow Minnesota ties it with 21 seconds left.

Might not have mattered anyway since the Flames are down 3-1 but what a huge goal

 

[lang006]

Flames have flamed out. Minny tied game in last 20 seconds to get the point they needed.

 

[lang006]

That sets up the West playoffs. Only thing left to be decided is Wash vs Habs or BJs. Go jackets!

Montreal only need to get a point. Columbus have to win in regulation.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Flames need to commit to a full rebuild and trade Weegar, Andersson, Kadri, and Huberdeau if possible.

Their underlying stats this year were awful, they only got close to a playoff spot thanks to OT losses+Wolf playing really well.

The max points CBJ can get is 89. If CBJ doesn't win in regulation, Habs clinch.

 

[Ouroboros]

Winnipeg drawing St. Louis in round 1 is pretty brutal for them.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

As much as I would like the Habs to get into the playoffs so I can bask in the atmosphere in Montreal while watching the Sens in the first round, it would be so much funnier if they choked what was almost a guaranteed spot a week ago.

That should be a good one.

It’s at home against NYI. Very doable.

They are very good at home and will know the outcome of the MTL game beforehand, so they will give everything they have if they can make the playoffs with a win.

If you really hate the Habs just hope they make it and lose in 4 ?

Thanks for your concern
