Player Discussion Nick Suzuki Game Winning Goals Edition

Scriptor said:
Suzuki always gets underestimated.

He is also an extremely good goalscorer. Only, as a C, he doesn't shoot enough. I'd even argue that he needs to be a little more selfish to be even less predictable and, believe it or not, more effective.

Don't forget that Suzuki also scored 33 goals last year on 185 shots for an 17.8 shooting percentage.

This year, if he gets to 185 shots again by season's end, up from his current 158 shots (he'd need to shoot more, period), even with a lower shooting percentage for the year (16.5%),he'd score 30 goals again (30 on the nose).

Suzuki's scoring prowess is underestimated. He's aPPG C that will score 30 goals regularly, IMO, especially with an actual 2nd line when we get a genuine 2C and also add Demidov.

Let's just say that Suzuki doesn't need to be embarrassed in Cole Caufield's company when it comes to goal scoring.

He knows the importance of making his line mates better.

If he shot at every opportunity he’d have 40+ but his line wouldn’t be as good.

We see his goal scoring abilities when he decides to take matters into his own hands.

Suzuki has raised his game to another level. As captain of the team he has rallied his teammates this spring. By him persuading management not to trade any of the veterans has gained him great respect with his teammates. Gallagher, Dvorak, Anderson, even Savard have all done their best to repay their Captain.

If we make the playoffs that story along with those 38 seconds against Florida will take on a bit of legendary status.
This lends credence to the idea that Suzuki is a Big Game Clutch performer.

- OHL MVP
-7 points in 10 as a rookie
-16 points in 22 as a sophmore all his most recent post season accomplishments.

-story still playing out as our Captain in his first stretch run...

Suzuki impressive me very much this year. He play like a true elite PPG two-way center.

I will don't be surprise if next year he will put 90-100 pts with Demidov in this team.

Imagine if Hutson have played 1st PP unit in the beginning of the season, Suzuki would have already 90 points lol!
 
Officially a PPG player congrats to the captain.

90-100 points is possible for Nick in the future if Hutson and Demidov take our powerplay to a higher level. Around 40G 60A would be Suzuki's ceiling with absolutely everything going right.

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.

Lol, this is like when one of the shareholders of Purdue pharma was trying to clarify that it was Purdue pharma behind oxycontin, not her.

Nick getting recognition.

I'll be crazy a little bit here. But assuming he keeps up his post-4 nation pace and the Habs get in the POs, should he get Hart considerations?

It would give him around 90 points, he would finish between 7 and 12 in scoring.

Kovalev got a fringe vote or two when he finished 10th or 11th in scoring, if I recall correctly... but he was also considered the catalyst for a team that finished 1st overall in the east.

9 GWG this year
Tied for 3rd in the NHL behind Draisaitl's 11

Just can't believe how proud I am of him tho regardless.
No team should ever have to wait 20 years for a PPG player
And certainly not the f***ing Montreal Canadiens lol

Congrats Nick, its all you baby
