77 pts to be exact..

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I remember that when I got into an argument with someone on Instagram over what Suzuki was depth wise, they tried to argue that he was a 3 liner C...

That was 3 days ago

 

[Wats]

He's basically solo-ing all his points. Reminds me of early 00s when Koivu was only good player.

 

[The Great Weal]

He's taken his game on the PP to a whole new level. You can genuinely play him at any position. Keep Hoffman on the right wall and have Suzuki play somewhere else.

I always liked Nick better on the left side. He can still make passes from there. But him being open for a one timer allows him to be more of a shooting threat and to do one touch passes to move the puck quickly.

Wideman also moves the puck well from the point. If he can't hack it 5 on 5, it's worth considering him at wing on the 4th line 5 on 5, and then on the pp. Or if Belzile and Pazetta are doing more than Armia and Lehkonen, worth taking out one of the Finns.

Suzuki-Hoffman
Drouin-Caufield could two nice half wall duos of the 2 pp units.

If he keeps this up, he’s got to play for Canada at the Olympics. I know they have a lot of centres, but I feel he can play the role of a two-way RW.

No chance imo, way too much depth this go around. Maybe next time

 

[Habs 4 ever]

Did anyone notice his signing bonus next year is 4000014 his number is 14

 

[Miller Time]

I hope we do the right thing and get him some elite talent to play with...

A top-15 winger & PMD.... so that we can fully benefit from, and leverage his immense talent vs force him to carry the load by himself, surrounded by B level talent, as he is now.

I don't think so. Way too many good forwards.

Huberdeau-McDavid-Mackinnon
Marchand-Crosby-Bergeron
Coutrier-Oreilly-Stone
Point-Barzal-Marner
Tavares

 

[Archijerej]

On a team as low scoring as the Habs Suzuki is really having a "next step" kind of start to this year.

For example, he's contributed a goal or assist on 45% of the Habs goals this year. That's incredibly high. For context, here's some others.

McDavid: 23/46 = 50%
Ovechkin: 21/42 = 50%
Suzuki: 13/29 = 45%
Panarin: 13/33 = 39%
Marner: 13/36 = 36%
Aho: 12/41 = 29%
Barkov: 14/52 = 27%

I think a stint in Laval might be in order.

Plus Stamkos and Scheifle (though I don't know why he hasn't been producing this year).

 

[Belial]

When he'll get better on FO he'll be even more dominant.

Dark horse maybe but he has a chance for sure.

Can't say I've ever heard his name by any of the insiders doing a long list of potential players for team Canada. Now that the short list is coming due, is even more unlikely. But there's always a chance I guess.

Great young player, just not his time. Next Olympics is more likely

Nice

 

[Benstheman]

Next Olympics. He will be there at 26, 30 and 34 yo so no need to rush.

That being said, maybe you take him as a reserve player and give him the opportunity to live the experience and be surronded by the bests.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Nice

Thanks.

Last night he was pretty damn good on FO.

 

[Eco]

Also, if you watched last night's game, and Markstrom chipping at Nick for trying to go behind him, only for the young lad to pull this off just a few minutes later.

He's on the long 55 man list, there's a story today on Sportsnet that says luongo called him in the summer
