Player Discussion Tim Stützle - (C) - Part VI

[Gil Gunderson]

Looked like prime Patrick Kane with that pass to Sanderson (shot hit the post).

[HF2002]

Just be like Hossa.

What else is there to say?

 

[GCK]

I’d still try him on the wing.

 

[Loach]

I’d still try him on the wing.

...and you'd still be wrong. Lol. JK!

No. Did you forget how he instantly became a different player when they finally moved him to center?

I think Stutzle could dominate from the wing.

I think Stutzle could dominate from the wing.

If you instantly improve moving from wing to center I find it hard to imagine one improves even further by going back to wing. It's obvious he's far more comfortable playing the middle of the ice which is his natural position.

He wasn't that impressive on the wing. He's always been great in the middle.

Here's one (more?) reason why he should play center:
Go to 51:40 - words at 51:50.

Süperstar!

This really is one of the dumbest suggestions I've ever seen!

Stutzle is effective at center same reason Karlsson was effective at D.

They are playmakers who can pick the puck up behind their goal line and carry it to the offensive zone at will. If you put him on wing you're curbing his best ability.

Patrick Kane was able to do it as a winger

OOoooh c'mon now! Let's put Brady at center then and he can be Lindros.

 

[PlayOn]

I don’t doubt Stützle could do it as a winger, but then you have no franchise centre which you need, so I don’t understand why you’d do this when he’s doing great as a C. Developing his faceoffs and defensive play sounds like the better strategy.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I truly think the best of Stutzle is yet to come. Like Hossa and Draisaitl.

He oozes skill, skating, IQ and passion. Once he truly matures physically and figures it all out, he'll be something to behold. Similar to how we saw him take over the game in several ways in WJC.

24-30 year old will be a Stutzle to behold and I expect him to have Alfredsson/Giroux/Hossa 30's where he looks even more valuable from a leader and maturity standpoint.

But these next 2 years will be offensive dynamite Stutzle while we watch him put together some stints of remarkable play and consistency.

He has been very responsible with the puck yet still super dynamic and gamebreaking.. it's quite something.

That's the first indication that you've only been here for a month. This is mild compared to what gets suggested on the main boards.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

From Alex Adams:" Stephen Halliday told Sportsnet that he asked Stützle for a dinner recommendation for a group of prospects going out together. When they got to the nice Italian restaurant Stützle had suggested, he was notified that Stützle had already paid the bill."

 

[Sun God Nika]

No. Did you forget how he instantly became a different player when they finally moved him to center?

but we never saw Stu at wing again since he popped of at C so its hard to compare.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

With galchenyuk as his center?? Wow I see it

 

[GCK]

I’m not saying move Stutzle to the wing today. I’m thinking if Pinto and Norris show they are both top 6 200 foot centres over this season and next we will need to re-jig the top 6.

Its a fine suggestion and there is zero reason people should act offended by it. Freeing him of the defensive burden that comes at center might allow him to roam free and destroy all. Plus he is starting to play like a power forward, he might be a good puck recovery guy. Seeing number 18 skate over and into people is giving me serious Hossa flashbacks.
If Pinto turns out being a second line guy they will not have room for all 3 down the middle

I’d probably rather see Norris on the wing than stutzle. Pinto is a definite C
