Why would KK need magic beans?

Because I'm not sure he has what it takes to be a 2nd line C and ahead of Danault. Yup, I said it. Might be another 3rd overall pick blunder by Timmins and Bergevin . Hope I'm wrong though

You’re very very wrong. His basement is 2C and ceiling is elite 1C

 

[Habs Halifax]

With regards to your question one name come to mind from recent drafts almost immediately.

Samuel Morin - 2013 (1/13) by Philadelphia

Was a projected 2nd round pick for most of the year then started to rise late. Scouts loved his size and thought he had some untapped offensive upside. Some people even compared him to Chara at the time if he continued to refine his game. Since then he’s played 9 NHL games with 0 points and 170 games in the AHL. Now he didn’t end up going quite as high as KK did but still an example of someone who wasn’t projected to go high but rose quickly.

Good find. But it's not a top 5 pick though. I'm sure there is one that fits more? I can't recall any though

 

[Tuggy]

The kid has some jam to him. He doesn't shy away from the physical play and he's dished out a couple nice hits lately.

Julien’s comments this morning:

He’s a step above Krejci in the skill and IQ department and will be an overall better player. But I’ll take the comparison. I’m happy that Claude is talking this way, it gives me hope that he will let Suzuki become our 1C over Danault who is a big downgrade.

Julien’s comments this morning:

Hope he does better than Therrien and his Staal/DLR comment. I'd take Suzuki developing into Krejci.

 

[Rapala]

It's very evident I like Nick but I have noticed some issues creeping into his game as he gets more comfortable. He is not moving nearly enough on the PP anymore. Early in the season his movement was a treat to watch on our power play have we coached it out of him? He has also become a tad lackadaisical on some of his line changes. Yup that veteran stuff getting in the way.

Julien’s comments this morning:

Suzuki definitely has that kind of potential. Could be more, but that seems like a realistic level. That's incredible. Prime Krejci was an animal.

I noticed that last game but he was clearly off that day. Not worried. Probably just fatigued or sick like the rest of the team

 

[G0bias]

Same total as Domi now, one off Gally and just four short of Danault.
Pretty awesome he's gonna finish the season as the 2nd highest scorer on the team. (though depressing at the same time)

I like how he completely decked Wagner putting him on his a** earlier in the shift before his goal

I believe the change in movement is because of coaching too.

You can't put an eagle into a box and expect him to soar, watch Kovalchuk out there...he is such a treat to watch away from the puck and how he reads and reacts.

Sad but true,he might end up with the most depending if TT is gone for the season as well. If that'ends up being the outcome,should be a strong candidate for the Calder.

These are teammates on my team no need to compare apples & oranges, I love both players/people & extremely happy they are Habs!!!...

 

[ahmedou]

He's the only hockey nerd in this club. The rest are just some dumb and dumber players. I'm like 1909% serious about that statement.

I applaud your positivity, but Domi is not that loveable, he’s been rather useless this year. Should be traded for a Left defenseman.

I believe that our fans will be delighted to have Max Domi And Nick Suzuki on our team when we make the playoffs, these are players that love the game and are passionate about winning. This can't be taught as is their commitments to society/humanity, love both players /people even though I don't know them personally.

I’m not sure if Domi has a good attitude, I’ve heard some things. And his hockey IQ this season is very questionable. I’m getting low on him. I would rather trade him for a good LD instead of giving him a contract.

 

[SpeedyPotato]

He reminds me more of Bergeron than Krejci but yeah let's keep our expectations realistic
