C Ryan Suzuki - Springfield Thunderbirds, AHL (2019, 28th, CAR)

Still highly thought of by the Canes.

Has had horrible luck with injuries.

He needs a full and healthy year to really gauge where he’s at.

Is he playing in the playoffs?

Injured

 

[Discipline Daddy]

Yeah it's looking like injuries have severely derailed his career. Def has a chance to be an NHLer, but he's far from a sure thing. Jack Drury has clearly jumped him in the prospect ranking and Ponomarev is close.

Any recent updates on this player?

Seems to be settling in the AHL now. Almost 20 games played so far and he heasnt hurt himself so that’s something.

7g 4a so far in 19games.

 

[Brent Burns Beard]

How is this player progressing now? Do the Canes have him in their plans or is he going to be waiver fodder?

Definitely not waiver fodder. We don’t have a lot of organizational depth at C so I’m sure the canes are still interested to see what he can do.

He won't make the team unless he does the heckin storm surgerino.

You can't call yourself a canes fan unless you know what I'm talking about. Thanks for the upboat, though.

ehh, this is the main board so can you translate for those of us who have never even considered being Canes fans?

I don't know what this means, and I'm ok with that.

I hope the Canes do well, I like some of their players, their coach and the management style but I’m not a “fan” of the team.

what happened to him? i was highly on him, when he was playing in the OHL
i sincerely thought he was bigger and better version of his brother..

sure he is still young, only 22 but he has spent 2020 - 2023-24 in the AHL
no games in the NHL

115 games in the AHL, 0.50 ppg, disappointing numbers
only played 5 games in the AHL this season, no other games.

Any hope for him? that he'll become a regular NHL:er
- his contract ends after this season

Simple answer. He can't stay healthy. The eye injury may have affected his overall game as well, but he's been injured every year and even this year got injured in camp and was activated just a month ago.

He actually looked pretty good in camp and in the rookie showcase and I had hoped he was turning a corner, but then got injured again. I feel bad for the kid as he has skills and needs to stay healthy and get games under his belt.
