God Damn Suzuki... :O

I hope he will not bust. We need him.

that gives him 23 pts in his last 8 games. wow. It's his 4th game this year with 4 or more pts.

B U S T ! ! !

Going to be paying very close attention to Walford this playoffs. I'm expecting big things from him.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Given our need to pick up a good number of top end players through the draft, Poehling being a 3rd or 4th C is a bust.

I hated the Poehling pick initially as I saw him as the standard two way player with not much offensive ability, but that a Habs coach would live. Year after it looked like he had offense but back to the original concern

I disagree with this. A bust is someone who fails to meet the expectation of his pick. Poehling was picked 25th. If he plays 100 + NHL games he is not a bust.

- Nick Suzuki with 6 pts (2G, 4A) / +4 / 10 SOG / 70% FOW / Named 1st Star of the Game
(Season: 53 GP - 32G - 54A - 86 PTS)​

So where do half of NHL players come from?

100+ NHL games is pretty meaningless. Liam Reddox has 100 NHL games. Nigel Dawes has 200 NHL games. A bust is just not an NHL regular. Most players are busts.

 

[bryan1966]

Damn that's terrible news.

Very sad news. Alec was a great kid.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Suzuki wants his 100 points lol

 

[NotProkofievian]

Suzuki wants his 100 points lol

I think back to back to back 40 goals seasons is out of reach at this point, but it would be insane if he could pull it off. Only 2 goals per game from here on out to get there. Well, that doesn't seem like so much.

Harsh.

Feels good to have two elite CHL prospects.

Can't remember ever having two at the same time.

Good question! Galchenyuk & Gallagher? Before that... hmm Ribeiro & Choinard?

Galchenyuk Gallagher would be the last. If not for injury it could have been Subban and Maxwell, the year after he was drafted he was at a 1.36 ppg in the dub but played only 39 games. Was on pace for 94 pts that year.

Teasdale has been elite as well since the trade

Suzuki has 35 pts in 22 games (1.59 pt/game) with his new team
Teasdale has 20 g and 37 pts in 23 games (1.61 pt/game) with his new team

Just watched Tyszka from 2-22 vs Everett. He had a 3 pt night, won the game in OT was 1st star. Could of had 4 or 5 pts as he had a few shots on goal but the OT winner was a nice top shelf shot. Still looks like he'll need some work in his own end but got to love the mobility, skating, speed and size. Clearly has the physical tools you want to go with some decent offensive tools. Very interested to see what they opt to do with him next year since injuries have cut down his development time but he also looks ready for Laval. It was my first time seeing him since last year, hope to see him in the playoffs at least once more. Have now seen every prospect play this year except Ikonen, stupid Liiga, why did you have to change your streams service?

I take these teams don't like each other very much, very chippy game with several big hits that were borderline to get kicked out of the game. The game was close to getting out of hand, would hate to see what would have happened if not tied for much of the time.

The trip 40 goals would be nice aesthetically for sure, but,
'16-17' - 1.48 PPG
'17-18' - 1.56 PPG
'18-19' - 1.62 PPG on 2 teams, while "supposedly" not focusing on scoring as much and trying to focus on his all around game
I also do hope he somehow makes it to 40 goals again lol, but at least he's still scoring at all

Decent progression, hope he can produce at least 0.80 PPG clip in the AHL

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

We'll have to agree to disagree. To me you're taking a lot for granted if you are not valuing how hard it is to play in the NHL, and how many players never make it. Dawes and Reddox were not busts - they were the opposite - they were successes.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I don't understand how your question relates to my point.

Watch Suzuki just lets the hammer drop and has a couple 5 goal games, just to show us that he really was deliberately not trying to score this year.

Chucky was tearing it up in the OHL while Gallagher was in the AHL.
