Nope 3 years of play have formed my opinion. I don't see Suzuki eclipsing 75 points in his career. 1B/2A a la Hischier.
I was vehemently saying we need a true 1C last year as well. Would've loved to have drafted top 4.

More like because there are 32+ Cs better than him in the league, and I love Suzuki

I do Three bullets.
Imagine having had to sign Caufield at the end of this year instead?
My f***ing God lmao
Would of been 9+ easy boys

So
Does anyone remember
When we couldn't win a single game 3v3?
Because Douchearme kept starting with danault-gallagher-weber?
Now it goes 3v3 and out of nowhere we've got a kid that feels like he'll score 70% of the time in the extra frame..
That's INsane lol..
And now,.. imagine adding Hutson to that unit of 3 lol, damn.

Where was slafs chances though? Sure he made some good passes but his general IQ was yet again a car accident and I’m taking age into consideration

It's my opinion and my prediction. I may be right, I may be wrong but I am confident with it.

Ducharme was starting Evans and Kulak on 3vs3 to be sure we wouldn’t get scored on
I hope Monahan stays healthy, he is vital to this team.

Once Dvo comes back, you could see him on the first line.

Ah ok so outplaying superstar 1C opponents in the playoffs means nothing gotcha. He had 66 points last year on a team who's second leading scorer had 38 which is the lowest in the league by far. You don't think he could get 10 more if he played with guys better than RHP/Ylonen/Anderson for half a season? Not to mention having dmen better than Wideman/Harris feeding him the puck from the backend?
Would have loved to draft #1, I don't see how Will Smith is better than him.
Lol go ahead and name all the 32+Cs.

Reminds me of what my buddy used to say when we'd play Chelly online lol:
"We need more hits after the whistle, boys, please boys come on now"

I wonder if Devils fans are constantly berating their scouting staff for picking Hischier over Heiskanen, Pettersson and Makar. Or are they just happy to have a great player.

Outplaying star 1Cs? Danault was the shutdown C......
They have Hughes and a loaded d-core so the point is moot.

He is making plays and he is good without the puck so I don’t really think IQ is the issue, he is just a bit overwhelmed or not decisive enough, is confidence seem shaken… Is feet stop moving one hand on the stick keep adjusting the elbow pad or helmet, if he stay on is toe and more agressive he would be a lot more dominant.

They had neither at the time they drafted him, nor for a while at D. And Hughes took some time to take off.

I don’t think he did this at all. He was our lead point getter but if you averaged it out over an 82 game season he’d be pacing for 60 something points. We won because we had a HOF goalie shutting the door.
He’s had plenty of opportunity to go beyond 70 points though. He’s not a young kid and he gets tons of ice time. Yeah, we put too much on him but if he were legit he’d be getting more points.
If he can name 28 does it matter? At best he’s a 1B. He’d be a lot more effective as a number two.

Thanks for ignoring the rest of the post, goes to show that you know damn well RHP/Ylonen/Anderson are dog shit linemates for half a season on the first line.
As for this post, you were vehemently shitting on Danault during the playoffs. Suzuki was still better than the other teams 1C. You don't think they sent out their top pair against the Suzuki line?

I don’t understand how that’s insulting to some? Being a good 2C is very valuable.

26. Montreal Canadiens (3-2-1) One core tenet of the Canadiens rebuild is that Nick Suzuki is capable of being a true No. 1 centre. What if that’s just not the case?

You have a point but his biggest problem right now is lack of physical dominance and inability to finish/continue simple plays that shouldn't require high IQ to do. It's more about confidence and growth for me. It'll come. But he does make some low IQ decisions sometimes so again you have a point

Shame with a healthy Dach and Dvorak coming back ( making Monahan able to move up and down the line up).we are a strategic goalie platoon away from making a run at a playoff spot.
