He leads all WHL rookies in scoring by 18 points and is 5th overall in league scoring. Not too bad.

He plays with Bedard.

Do you remember Dany Roussin and Marc-Antoine Pouliot? I'll let you google them. ;)

Maybe he'll be a DeBrincat case, but I doubt it.

I'll take his current stats with a grain of salt, let's see how he does next year.

At least there was 2018.

Are you a Pats fan? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky. From what I have been reading and following he’s played with Bedard some but is mostly on their second line without him. It’s harder to follow ice time in the WHL so I’m actually curious if you are a fan and get to watch them consistently. Most of the lines up for their games, at least recently, haven’t had him with Bedard except for on the PP.

Nope, I'm not a Pats fan!

I'd like to know then what is the % of his point production that is on the PP vs ES on the games where Bedard was not on his line? Do you have that info?

Not sure if it can be find somewhere.

He was on Bedard's line at the beginning of the season. After the WJC, he's been mostly on the 2nd line. Paddock wants to spread the offense around a bit because the Pats are pretty terrible. Suz is still on the 1st unit PP that gets almost the full 2 minutes.

Was there an injury involved or other factors as to why he didn't play for Hershey or Sweden's U20 team?

He seems to be fitting in well with Saskatoon.

Turns out, Egor Sidorov may planted the seed for the Alexander Suzdalev trade after Game 7 between the Blades and Pats last spring.

He didn't play for Sweden's U20 team because of not playing any games and then when he finally did he wasn't playing up to the standard set by (most) forwards that made the team.

And AFAIK Hershey simply chose to not play him and the Caps handled that not very well. Kind of like Devils with Holtz at times.

Thanks for the insight. It will be interesting to see where things go from here; including with the 2025 WJCs.

Washington thought he wouldn’t benefit from going back to Regina again and they planned on him playing in Hershey but Hershey signed a bunch of players and he got squeezed in a numbers game. Eventually they decided him practicing with Hershey but not getting games wasn’t ideal so they shipped him to Sweden but he had trouble it seems like acclimating to the team mid-season.

He had five points in his first two games for the Blades so it seems the adjustment back to the WHL is going well. He should have been in Regina the whole time.

It's been 23 games now.

I don't feel he's been a great fit for the Blades. He's a good depth option and he's not a liability, he just feels like a solid player.

I don't feel he has a high ceiling.
