Hes burgeoning so hard its might steal some burgeoning from Hutson and demigod....
I thought they had their top 6 locked up. Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Laine, Dach, ?. Anderson obviously is a fail and has buyout potential. Newhook isnt a 2C. I still think Suzuki is your 2C, but obv need a holy crap 1C to come in. EP40 maybe? Huston and Monty are great. Honestly team is looking up for once.The improved linemates will definitely help. Credit to the player though, it's not just a result of linemates/teammates. He's definitely improved his play. In the first half I'd have put Caufield ahead of him. But down the stretch he's put the team on his back. He's been outstanding and it's the 2nd season in a row he's done this. Last night was incredibly clutch.
Anderson's a solid bottom 6 player, his contract is a bit rich but he brings a lot this season so no chance they consider a buy out.I thought they had their top 6 locked up.

Still doesnt scream contender yet. That 1C spot is what could do it for this team. Yeah Laine is a big meh. Some holes here still to be a contender.Anderson's a solid bottom 6 player, his contract is a bit rich but he brings a lot this season so no chance they consider a buy out.
Demidov is the real wild card for the top 6, doubt we extend Laine as he bring very little other than his PP one timer

Suzuki is top 7 in C scoring and an excellent two way playerI thought they had their top 6 locked up. Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Laine, Dach, ?. Anderson obviously is a fail and has buyout potential.

And that's the bottom line cause Sasha Orlov said so!Suzuki is top 7 in C scoring and an excellent two way player
If he isn’t a 1C then there’s less than 10 1Cs in the NHL
And that's the bottom line cause Sasha Orlov said so!
They aren't contenders yet. They are too green and have holes. Number 2 center and a good RD. Reinbacher, Demidov, Beck on the way and there are other good prospects as well. They're on their way but aren't there yet. It is life and death for the playoffs this year which is what I expect. Next year I anticipate them easily making the postseason. We'll see where things go after that.Still doesnt scream contender yet. That 1C spot is what could do it for this team. Yeah Laine is a big meh. Some holes here still to be a contender.
What is real is he is a PPG centerman who has improved offensively every year he's been in the league. He just gets better and better. And as his linemates get better (Slaf in particular), Suzuki's point totals will only increase.Because of a 26 game stretch. If that is the new normal, then hell yeah, but he was pacing at 75 before that. My point is, what is real?
That’s just the stat sheet. He’s a big game player too. Shows up in crucial times. Was easily our best forward in two playoffs, even though he was much younger. He’s an absolute animal.What is real is he is a PPG centerman who has improved offensively every year he's been in the league. He just gets better and better.

He's a bonafide #1C in the league and a damn good one.
EP has broken knees.yup, need to bring EP in to relieve Nick of 1C duties. Habs haters in shambles right now.
EP has broken knees.
His contract is/has been very very rich but he contributes. I still don't see UFA lining up to sign in Montreal. No point in buying him out for now.Anderson's a solid bottom 6 player, his contract is a bit rich but he brings a lot this season so no chance they consider a buy out.

Did you write this about 12 months ago, because it might have been maybe 20% “accurate” then but not today.I thought they had their top 6 locked up. Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Laine, Dach, ?.

How the hell is Suzuki a 2c and not a 1c i need you to explain this to me.I thought they had their top 6 locked up. Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Laine, Dach, ?.

It’s called “ignorance.”How the hell is Suzuki a 2c and not a 1c i need you to explain this to me.
Not sure how Suzuki has done more than Marner in the NHL.I'll preface this by saying Marner is the better player but it's funny that both him and Suzuki were notoriously clutch in Jr (Marner on that London team was spectacular in the playoffs, Suzuki carried Guelph to a championship), but Marner hasn't been able to translate that to the NHL whereas Suzuki has.
Not sure the reasoning for it, but if Marner could find that magic again the Leafs would probably win a cup.

Marner has better playoff numbers. It's an odd dick measuring contest....not what he said...referring to Playoff performance...

I just think the comparison is odd. Outside of the covid year, Suzuki hasn't done much, and even then, he wasn't really leading the Habs. I like both players, being a fan of neither team, like I said, just thought the comparison was odd....and hasn't led his team anywhere (1 Round win), which was his OBVIOUS point...intentionally obtuse, you are being...
