[ahmedou]

Suzuki is the 1st Montreal Canadiens player. With 80 points. Since Kovalev. In the 2007/2008 season.

First PPG center since Damphousse in 96?

Don't jinx it, he needs 1 more pt.

 

[Kimota]

That talk with Hughes and him taking charge has a chance to become legendary. Never seen him like this.

 

[Skip Bayless]

My boy boutta go 30G-60A on us.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Guy is an animal, what a steal of a contract too

 

[Big Trout]

I hope Norman Flynn wake up every day in shame

Its insane that Vegas won a cup after the assets and cap space they wasted on rental tatar and 200 games of pacioretty.

I don't think they lost an ounce of sleep over it. They got Eichel and Stone for peanuts.

Superstar

they traded a 1st, a former first in Suzuki, 2 seconds, and a third for Tatar Rental and Pacioretty
They traded 2 former firsts in Tuch and Krebs, plus a first, plus + for Eichel
They traded a former first (brannstrom) plus a second for Stone

The expansion draft favored them heavily

Need to change the thread title to Nick Suzuki - not a first line center addition.

Caufield's been top ten in goals almost all year long. He's slipped lately but again, going into 4 Nations he was this teams' best player this season. Zero to complain about there. Even now he's 12th.

Slaf is an up and coming player. Had some injury issues earlier and his play dipped but he's still pacing for 54/82. Very respectable. Laine is the best PP man in the league and Laine Hutson is probably going to crack 70 points. That's way better than what Kovalev had.

That doesn't mean I'd take Kovalev over Suzuki btw. Kovalev was one of the most talented players ever but he wasn't consistent enough. At any given moment he could be the best player on the ice but then he'd just go to sleep... 84 points was kind of a fluke year for him with us. I don't think this will be a fluke season for Nick.

The idea that Suzuki's had nobody to work with is flat out false. But it's absolutely true that he's put us on his back the past few weeks. Hutson as well.

Don’t agree at all that Caufield was ever the best player this year. It’s been slick Nick from start to finish with Hutson a close 2nd, but this idea that Cole Caufield is a liability on the first line and dragging Suzuki down is even more absurd. Nicks been the Habs best player since opening night though AINEC.

I'm sure Kings fans would love to get rid of him lol

Hope they keep him away from us for a LONG time

He wasn't a bad man. He was just an arrogant dumbass.

Nah. He was good not great. But still put up points because that's what good players do.

Now he's parabolic.

His last gift could've been Cody Glass had he got his way...

yep and he was overly "loyal" to his pals. That said he left us in a pretty good position. #1 C, first line winger, top pairing d to build off of.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Well he got Suzuki. And gave him an open book to sign an 8 year contract which is one of the best deals in the NHL.

No.

Just... no.

He was better than Cole all year long. This isn’t even debatable.

I didn't see you chiming in before when it was being said around here.... but you do you.

 

[Big Trout]

He need 9 in 7 for 90 points, I believe!

He'll get it.
