C/LW Pius Suter - ZSC Lions, NLA (2014 undrafted)

[jonas2244]

Pius Suter shows how to play 3vs3 overtime:



He has 44 points in 44 games in the NLA and 7 points in 3 international games. I'm pretty sure he is on a list of some GMs.

 

[Appleyard]

He should have been signed by an NHL team ~2 years ago in my opinion.

 

[Speyer]

He has a NHL clause in his contract with Zurich, so he could make the jump as early as next season while he is still relatively young. If it werent for his size he would be in the NHL right now in my opinion. He has excellent hockey IQ, quick hands, fantastic puck protection, good vision, and very accurate wrist shot to his disposal. He is also a great character guy that every team would want in the locker room. Hopefully he and his agent will make the right choice selecting the team when the time comes.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Someone like Ottawa or Detroit should sign him to help jumpstart their rebuild.

He had offers, but he wanted something more secure. I think he made the right decision. He'll get way more this summer.

 

[frontsfan2005]

He has played with Fabbri and Bertuzzi in the past with Guelph - perhaps Detroit is his landing place?

His prospect camp 2 falls ago with the Islanders seemed like the ideal time for someone to nab him. But him banking on himself seems like he's going to get a lot more attention and perhaps a wider array of teams interested.

 

[Speyer]

Suter had a four goal game against Zug the other night wich is very rare for the rather low scoring NLA. He is almost garanteed now to end the regular season with most goals and is in a strong position to win the scoring title as well. I would be shocked if nobody gives this guy a chance in the big league next year.

 

[HSF]

I think he was at the Sens camp this past year but he can't leave to the nhl till the following season?

I'm going off my shitty memory

I think you mean Tristan Scherwey, who is also Swiss and was at Sens camp last summer but could not sign with a NHL team until this off-season.

Is this guy a center? Asking for a friend with 1 NHL quality center on roster.

 

[Henkka]

Time re-unite with Fabbri and Bertuzzi from Guelph days?

Crazy coincidence, was just watching those 2014-15 OHL stats when seeing this Suter-topic.

Center, but also able to play as a winger.

 

[Theokritos]

He's is already off the market.

According to Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger, Suter already has an agreement within an NHL club and is going to sign a one-year contract. The paper speculates it's the Chicago Blackhawks.

Red Wings are gonna try Fabbri at Center, so maybe should flip a coin and try both.

EDIT:

Oh, Chicago.

I guess with the success of the Kubalik experiment, the Hawks felt it was a good idea to poach the top NL scorer once again.

It's speculation on part of the newspaper though, based on the success of Kubalik and the Marc Crawford connection. It's not clear whether they've got anything beyond that.

Can someone compare Suter and Kubalik, which one was better in Swiss League?

Fair enough. There are other destinations that make sense for Suter.

I wonder if the talks of a possible salary cap in the NL, along with the new transfer agreement, will lead more Swiss players to try and make the jump to the NHL.

Hoping sharks, I’ve liked his play for a while now

Played with Matthews in 2015-16, possible Leafs connection.
