DeGray said that he will play C for a bit. I'm guessing Montreal wants to see him develop as a full time center but I'm guessing if it doesn't go as planned for OS, he may get moved back to the wing.

Yes, at least he's a RW... we have a ton of good LW in Drouin, Domi, Byron, Lehkonen, Hudon
From what I saw in all his time with Vegas, he really favors the left side of the ice. Take it for what it's worth.

It's more the right handed shot we need up front, alot of our lefties like Lehkonen, Scherbak, and Hudon, (even Drouin) like the right side too...
I mean, I'm sure Suzuki can be coached to be a right winger, just sharing my observation. He would go to the right wing if the situation called for it, but he tended to spend a good amount of time on the left side.

Ya, left or right wing, we just need a right handed shot up front. We only have Gallagher right now.

After a sluggish start, Suzuki is firing up quickly. Three goals and three assists in two games. Obviously too good for the OHL but gets to be Owen Sound's top forward and develop skating and overall physical play while scoring +100 points.
Could play as a winger in the NHL next season.

He was named the captain of Owen Sound today as well.
bergevin quoted in french today that he believes he'll make habs next year - and unrelated, they're looking to bring in poehling when his year is done in march

He has been playing C. What comes to the NHL, I think playing as a winger would give him better chances to be an impacful player.

Ya not surprised by this, all of Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, and Poehling should be in the opening lineup next year.
I thought I read he often rotates between center and wing throughout the game, is that true? Or was it all wing?
Lol i don’t care about stats, you can put 3assist and have an average game, hence why im asking how was his iverall, but he dominant all game long, some flashes, very effective every shift etc...

The habs played him as a c all preseaon.
I think they want to develop him as a C. They probably asked owen sound where he would be playing before deciding to send him back to the ohl this year.

Now im confused. The other poster said hes been playing C and he took 23 faceoffs in the game. Are you sure?

Maybe he watched the game: 67's vs Attack? - in that game he took only 9 face-offs
