Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Habs sign Nick Suzuki to extension (8 years, $7.875M AAV)

[MardyBum]

Still a good contract for a good young player, but everyone outside of Quebec saw the point regression coming.

Needs to start generating more chances (not just him, his linemates). Can only live off of luck and Caufield's really good scoring touch for so long.

Suzuki still better than Stutzle? Now and in the future baha.

I don’t understand why anyone would be bashing Suzuki right now. Great player, great contract & great captain

That he is, but he isnt as good as Habs fans have been thumping their chest about either.

True but he's easily worth his contract and not near as bad as the trolls have been saying.

Suzuki still better than Stutzle? Now and in the future baha.

But Suzuki will never be a good diving expert.

Awww its cute how much you guys all think about The Habs...

You all disappeared when Suzuki and Caufield were lighting it up but here you are when he goes a few without a point.

He got a few last night though, so I guess its almost time you disappear again until he goes a few without points.....

Suzuki has always given me the impression that he is a Plekanec in his prime. A 25 goal, 65 point centre, responsible 200 foot player. He has yet to show that he is able to cope with the added attention he receives as the de facto #1 center, especially when on the road.

Suzuki is a perfect 1B/2 center. IMHO, his best season points wise should be around 80 points. This is why it is most important for the Habs to win the lottery this spring to get a true #1 center so that Suzuki will be perfectly placed to help carry the load offensively.

Good fair post. Feel the same way, just like with Barzal. Good, but just not good enough.

Way too many homers on this website (See post below this one)

This is refreshing.

The comparison is off because Suzuki is so much better offensively than Plek .

39 points in 35 games compared to 34 points in 40 games. Thats a very large difference actually. He is also 3 years younger.

No just scoring hat tricks and leading his draft class by 46 points. Better than anything that Montreal has in their entire system.

It’s a difference of 5 points

To be fair though, Caufield's scoring touch can only go as far as it can when the puck is on his stick. Caufield has so many goals right now in large part because Suzuki gets the puck to him in goal scoring spots so much.

Caufield turned 22 a few days ago, Dach is 21. The most common dmen on the ice with them when they play are 20 and 21. Suzuki is a playmaker surrounded by children. He's producing, a big part of his line not finishing is age.

So Caufield isn't that good?

Stutzle is 20 and is already much better lol.

It’s a difference of 5 points

91 point pace vs 69 point pace lol. Stutzle blows Suzuki out of the water.

Ottawa has a lot of good players, everyone expected them to be in a playoff race this season.

They're 4 points up on a team filled with Joel armias, Brendan Gallaghers and Mike hoffmans.

What gives?

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Suzuki would easily be a PPG if he had another shooting option than Caufield on the PP. Our PP is very predictable because there are always trying to feed Caufield the one-timer. Drouin and Wideman have played most of the time this season from the point on the 1st PP and they have 0 goal in 49 games combine because they can't shoot the puck. A shooting option at the point would help him a lot. It is hard to be a PPG player when your team is trash. He has been the leading scorer of this team for the last 2 seasons (+ playoffs during the cup run the year prior), there isn't much more he can do without more support, I don't know what you guys are expection, he is on a good contract.

I'm not so sure about that.

Caufield is top 10 in goals and 0.68 PPG so far.

Its debatable.....

It’s a Suzuki thread no? We can talk about teams that overachived at the start of the season and teams that underachieved in the appropriate threads.

I’ve always said Suzuki is Similar to a player like Larkin - great at what he is but isn‘t elite.
