Yeah no shit. The problem is, Koivu was also like that, but he left it all on the ice no matter what, contrarily to Nick.

Koivu probably had more "fire" (or compete) than Nick does.

And that's the whole problem. If your captain is taciturn and introvert, he needs to have compete and show the example on this ice, like Koivu did.

Really? that seems unlikely. Who's calling him that? does everyone know he is part Japanese? Having been to my share of Onsens in Japan and being very observant, I can see the huge reasons why the mrs went with a non-Japanese man.

Damn you guys suck. Turning on Suzuki, turning on Slaf, turning on Guhle, even turning on Hutson. So lame lmao.

This is the problem, we're so soft. Don't turn on your boys when times are hard. I still believe in all of them.
No Hutson for me though.
I think Slaf led the team with 5 hits against NJD. Suzuki had 4.
His best hit was when he took over Evans' slot after a PK he absolutely smoked Hischer.
Most energy he showed all night was on that shift I still say we need to split Caufield Suzuki.

I counted Suzuki Ghule Caufield Slaf Hutson , last two might be homer picks but I like them I think they are free 50 point players which is rare here , The ceiling is higher for those two but I'll believe it when i see it

Nobody is playing well now except Hutson. Cc is producing goals but not generating enough shots. The first line has been reliably good except for this year.

Get Dach off his wing. He needs the alpha energy of a guy like Slaf.
Suzuki is what he is at this point. He's the perfect 1B center. You give him the tougher matchup and he can log in solid two way minutes behind an more dynamic offensive 1C.
He just does not have the tool to dominate offensively, but in a way, that's a good thing. His playstyle will allow him to have a really long prime. He relies on smarts and skill rather than speed or strength, and I can see him being just as effective in 8 years. That's great news for the Habs, since he's relatively old and the Habs are not out of the woods with their rebuild. The team might not be ready to win until 2028 at this point, so having a guy like Suzuki who can sustain a high level into his thirties as your "veteran presence" will be ideal.
The Habs just need to find an offensive minded first line C to complement him. Maybe Hage, maybe Hagens?

Suzuki/Slaf > Suzuki/CC
The latter works but the former is better at defence and can cycle. CC can score anywhere with anyone let him play with Dach

Suzuki is well built (dame_dash) but you have to wonder when the iron man streak might begin to take a toll.

A toll on what? we are not playing playoffs.

Sometimes I see shades of Toffoli in him, so I irrationally fear a potential chronic groin issue.

I see shades of Hakim Olajuwon, so I rationally wish for more power in the paint.
