Player Discussion Tim Stützle - (C) - Part VI

[HSF]

Oh, I take Stu over Brady, Center vs winger is a big consideration for me, I just don't buy into the claim that Brady doesn't make the players around him better. Imo, guys tend to play a foot taller knowing he's on the ice with him, they have more space, and he's an underrated playmaker. He's also a huge benefit on the cycle, which wears out the opposition, and can be punishing on the forecheck.

best we have seen from Norris since lining up with Brady...Norris is even playing with an edge

What would the ideal winger look like for Stutzle? He has played well with Brady, Bath, G, but I wonder what kind of player would really click to create that dynamic offensive duo.

My thought would be a really smart shooter, who can get open, make good reads for give and goes, and have enough pace to keep up. Doesn't need to have the puck all the time, but can make zone entries and carry the puck when needed.

Brett Hull, Dany Heatley come to mind. Modern day, Draisaitl, Pastrnak possibly. Hopefully one day Stu has someone to ride shotgun with him!

Even some lesser stars, like Cheecho with Thornton, Hejduk and Gagne with Forsberg, Hyman with McDavid. Really need someone to finish his plays with regularity.

Peterka, duh!
