Player Discussion Nick Suzuki Game Winning Goals Edition

Kudo Shinichi said:
Caufield was the best habs player in the first half of the season. He was pacing for about 50 goals during that time. Suzuki has been better since.

Yep. 46 goals/80 point pace in the first half. Dropped off a bit after that. Last half dozen his been MIA. Good game tonight though.

As for Suzuki, since 4 Nations he's tied with Kucherov for most points overall. He's sizzling.

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

Not for the stat watchers...

But yes, his overall game has been the best since day one of the season.

And really, Caufield wasn't really playing much better in the first half, he just had a crazy September scoring 10 in the first 11 games. Finishing matters, of course, but he's been playing great hockey this spring as well.

They've both had career years, and the great thing is that the best is yet to come :win:

Future is bright 😎

My guess at the start of the year was he'd be around 82 points, with 90 coming next year. If he hits 90 or close to it, I could easily see a 100+ point peak season.

I said with a strong second line he could get 90, he doesn’t have that and it flirting with 90 anyway.

Caufield’s been great, but like you said outside of that 11 game sample where he went GPG his goal scoring returned back to normal. He’s trailed Suzuki in points all season long. Plus Suzuki does so many more things away from the puck that Cole doesn’t. This isn’t even close and I love Cole. Suzuki is just better at everything except scoring goals.

I honestly believe that this alleged sit down is being romanticized and blown out of proportion, like it was some grand entrance into the GM's office with an ultimatum from Suzuki.

Gimme a break.

It probably went down, "Kent, the guys would like a chance to stick around and do their best to make the playoffs together. They think they can get something done..."

"Fine, you guys win games before the deadline and I won't trade the veterans."

"Thanks, I'll let the guys know..."

I think what is evident for me from the articles I've read on the subject and the interviews that have been given . Suzuki is in constant contact with Marty and Hughes behind the scenes. That they did what they did is enough to raise a few eyebrows and it speaks volumes about the respect they have for the "Captain".

There is nothing blown out of proportion when you look at things for what they are.
A challenge made and a challenge met.

I agree that first half Cole was better but the Gap between the two now is much larger than it ever was this season. Suzuki is playing like a top 10 player right now
 
NOTICE ; 2 years ago, Suzuki's new contract has been named the worst NHL contract by a "PRO" site. I won't name it because i think we shouldn't talk about them anymore. END
 
He has more of a killer instinct than I knew one or two years ago. He’s extremely clutch.

I disagree it deserves the attention because of how bad it was then and how even worse it is now. The guy who wrote that article and build that model is an hardcore leafs fan and I remember how he deflected the blame on his model as if he was not the person that build that model in the first place.

NHL’s 10 worst contracts, 2022 edition: Tyler Seguin, Seth Jones and others

There are players who deserve the tag of having one of the worst contracts in hockey. Here is our list of the 10 worst ones.

Also funny to also see Werenski on that list too. It also show how ridiculous is it to try evaluating very good players on bad teams.
