C Nick Suzuki - Guelph Storm, OHL (2017, 13th, VGK; traded to MTL)

[Lion Hound]

He reminds me of Brassard

 

[Auston mcdavid]

Why brassard he’s got a skill set that is very similar to barzal or even Patrick Kane and gaudreau

 

[Smeagoal]

Can anyone who watches him regularly update on his play of recent? I see he has similar point totals to last year. How has he developed so far this year compared to last?

 

[Teemu]

Making his AHL debut tonight on the Wolves' top line

If the OHL stats page is correct, only 28 of his 100 points came on the PP. That would mean he had 82 ES points in 64 games, which is pretty damn impressive.

Hopefully Hancock can make an AHL team next year. I'd like Suzuki back at C. His old coach, who is now an assistant with the Knights, believes him to be a natural 2 way center.

For some reason he's gotten an undeserved reputation as a flashy perimeter player that can't play defense.

He also have 7 short handed points (5G 2A)

72 ES points

72 ES points

Math is hard... lol. Still some good ES production, though!

Wont get more than a 9 game try out this year, if he's lucky. Probably gets some call ups next year. Full time roster player by 2020-2021 season. I drafted him in both my keepers. Looking foward to it.

was hoping sooner than that. either way no way im moving him i think hes going to be a stud. some AHL seasoning could do wonders though. we will see how he does thoughout training camp. ill keep a close eye on him. I know Cody Glass is higher on the list, but after this season I feel he should be at the same level as Glass now.

He will still be a couple years away atleast.. More junior time and AHL time IMO he will need.. Which is totally fine

Never know tho!

 

[TheGoldenJet]

If he has a good camp, you never know. Really depends on the summer he’s had and if he can physically handle the speed and physicality of the NHL.

 

[CauZuki]

Welcome to the circus young man, it's about to get interesting...

Never.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Welcome to Montreal

 

[ottawa]

He has over 50 more points this year than he did last season in less games. That's what I call a break out! Hoping the Habs can move up for him or Pettersson

his little brother is supposed to be even better than him too, I've heard.

Looking back at this comment from 2017, you must be thrilled.

 

[CapSpace]

Let's search for clues here to see if Suzuki is such a meh prospect cause he is a Habs player now.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would like him on the Habs

There you go

 

[Fazkovsky]

Faceoffs? Is he good 2 way? Center?

I'll save them some time....Suzuki is a great prospect to have, especially when MTL already has Kotkaniemi.

Dont worry, it will come. It always does. Havent you read the Kotkaniemi thread lately?

Yeah, let’s wait and see.

You know one thing we won’t have to wait for? Habs fans suddenly jumping into this thread with a victim complex complaining about how everybody (or, in this case...nobody) is rushing in here to devalue their prospect. But I suppose saying Suzuki is a great NHL prospect but not at the level (in the eye of the majority) of Gabe Vilardi or Robert Thomas is now suddenly considered a slam and attack?

Habs fan here. I agree he is slightly below Thomas or Vilardi. I really wanted one of those guys. But Suzuki is ahead of many of the returns people thought we would get. I suggest this trade is actually pretty fair and right in the middle of what Habs fans wanted and other fans insisted they would get.
