I didn't read the whole thread so pardon me if this was discussed but what are your thoughts on Suzuki... anybody seen him play?
Predications have him being available when the Islanders are on the clock and he certainly fills a position of need.
I believe there are some real doubts about his drive and battle level. Tough to tell when a kid has some very, very good skills, but underwhelms in the compete department while playing for a poor team.
There was a lot of disappointment with the 2nd half of his season, in particular. In addition, his performance at the U18 was just mehhh.
Then again, he seems to have some wicked hands and sees things better than your average player. And he sure isn't the first kid who didn't bring his best hockey in his actual draft year.
Your scouting staff will need to be in on the know here before taking Suzuki the Younger.
