I can't believe you actually searched thru post history to see if and how I might have voted on a hab player. A little obsessive don't you think?
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
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...
Here's start of the season top 50 lists from both sportsnet and tsn. Suzuki is 47 on one list. Not on the other list.
Sportsnet Insiders rank the NHL’s top 50 players: 10-1
Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Auston Matthews top TSN's Top 50 NHL Player list | TSN
Yes he's had a good year. But is it really a clear bias when TSN doesn't even have him on their list? Oh I know, I know, you'll bookmark the post and be back here in September when he moves up a bit.
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.
Size doesn't matter to you. It's probably less important in beer league but it matters in the nhl and it matters when they're playing for keeps. Hutson's lack of size will follow him around his whole career and he'll be a polarizing player until he wins. Which he may not.
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.
They have some good wingers. But that doesn't get you very far in the nhl.
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.
At the end of the day, you're entitled to your views. But you're on a Sens board and you've been pumping the Habs for years. You should expect a little push back. Or at least start your posts with "Habs fan coming in peace"
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
