It is time to give this guy some love on the main boards....and I have been nominated to do it.

Since his snub at the 4 Nations face-off Nick has been one of the best players in the league leading his team into contending with a league-best record since the break.

Let's break it down...

11GP - 6G + 12A = 18 points

Season totals

67GP - 21G - 49A = 70 points

The guy keeps getting better as each year he climbs a little higher. See below.

Suzuki's ppg stats by age
20 - 0.58
21 - 0.73
22 - 0.74
23 - 0.80
24 - 0.94
25 - 1.04

Currently this year he is outperforming the likes of....

Stutzle
Thompson
Thomas
Aho
Konecny
Johnston
Hintz
Larkin

As a good friend of mine once said...

"this guy is an absolute animal and makes Stutzle and Larkin look like little boys"

Is my friend right?

Has Suzuki hit a higher gear this year?

Does he have higher to climb?

At this stage. I would definitely say that Suzuki plays a more consistent and all-around game better than the folks listed. Definitely is in the top 10 for centers in the league and I would think could challenge for an MVP in the years to come at his rate of development.
