Suzuki because the habs will now have a good 2nd line which will alleviate his defensive duties.

really depends on if Duclair can

I'm a Barzal fan. Lots of people underrated him now just because he didn't instantly improve on his great rookie year. But he's a serious scoring threat, hit 80 points last season, and should be around the point per game mark. Very good bet he scores more than Suzuki.

But I voted Suzuki anyway. I just can't help it, he's one of my favourite players in the league. Ever since I saw him play for the Guelph Storm, I was convinced he was a superstar. He has no ceiling, in my humble opinion. 80 points, 90 points, more. I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I went with Suzuki

I think that Slafkovsky and Caufield Will both take a step forward in their developpement and Suzuki will benificiate from it

Feel like Barzal has a bit more offensive potential, Suzuki is much better two-way. Probably Barzal, wouldn't shock me if Suzuki outscored him though.

Who's the most underrated two way player in the league ?

Suzuki has the more talented support options to me so him . But pretty close poll on the surface

Does Montreal have someone that can outlet pass from the zone as good as Dobson though?

Not yet, and they will eventually , but im asking for next year

Hutson ? Hes expected to make it no ? I’m more thinking the pp would be effective , at least on paper some sort of combination of Suzuki , Caufield , Slaf , Laine , Hutson /Matheson could be formidable ; more so than the Islander counterpart ( despite Dobson being a complete stud ) .

Suzuki is going 24g + 68a for 92 pts.

 

[squashmaple]

Barzal is the better scorer but has a worse supporting cast as the Islanders are shallower and less flashy than Montreal (which is a weird thing to say about the Habs after the past few years). Voted Suzuki, but I bet it ends up being very close barring injury for either.

Good post, I’ve changed my perspective a bit now too

Barzal is a better player for sure but Depending on if Laine has a good season and plays with Suzuki. Nick Suzuki could potentially outscore Barzal by 10 or more points.

Barzal he is a better hockey player. More talented, Montreal fans expectations are wildly out of control already. Knew this would happen, real pressure now.

Is there pressure? Ottawa has all of these awesome players and everyone expects them to suck every year and they do

Barzal is absolutely not the better player. In no way, shape, or form. Maybe he outscores Suzuki, but he's absolutely not the better player.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I must have missed the Ottawa player in the poll or are you having trouble deciphering which thread you are in

I can’t use a pathetic Canadian franchise as a comparable for expectations for Montreal?

 

[Fatass]

Barzal will get more points but Suzuki will be close and is a better overall player.

Whatever you say.

Well dispite league worst goaltending last year Ottawa still finished ahead of montreal. How bad is Montreal if thats the case especially considering their goalies were some of the best with advanced metrics and still finished 5th last. The previous season Ottawa finished with 86 points a whopping 18 more than the Montreal Canadiens. Maybe you shouldnt throw stones living in a glass house and actually focus on the thread you are in and the teams and players it involves. But if you are too petty and pathetic I understand you are consistent atleast.

So you think its laughable that Barzal is a better hockey player than Suzuki? Clearly you cant push aside your bias if you think thats laughable. I will admit its close but I prefer Barzal's raw talent. He has two seasons better than Suzuki has ever had. But I am sure you knew that.

I think Suzuki is the better player.
