He is sharing the center role with Hancock...
OS system allows them to have 2 centers in the same line


If he's playing both C and RW, then he's not a full time C. I guess we'll see how it shakes out.

For starters, will he be a C at the WJC? That could be a first sign that they're really taking his role as a C, seriously.

So realistically how much points you think he could make in the NHL if he becomes full time? I sort of see 50-60 point range, but that's if the team improves with elite level talents

Is 50-60 good enough?

Which elite level talents are we talking about here - I thought Suzuki was meant to be our most skillful prospect?

I mean if he gets team mates that are like Nylander and Marner with similar elite talent and him being on a line with them (not Marner or Nylander) like predicting of how many points...

How will he get those linemates?

If Suzuki and Kotkaniemi play together, neither are blue-chip prospects and Kotkaniemi looks more like a two-way guy than an offensive-minded powerhouse point producer. Personally, I just don't see it.

way too early to tell, but Kotkaniemi seems to have elite hands and hockey sense to go along with a solid two way game. But it's waaaaaaaaaaay too early to tell if that will translate into elite production or not.

How much will he score if everything goes well - 60? 70?

Is having one 70 point player enough?

London, ON
Hoping to watch him play in London on Friday, should be a great game vs a pretty good London team including Boqvist/Foudy :thumbu:

I always wonder whether those things could be THAT significant for a player's development.
Still can't wait to see him there. Hopefully he's dominant.

It definitely doesn't hurt. Playing the best of the best in that 2 week tournament is definitely a bonus and you get to see witch kids actually stand out a little from the tougher competition.

Habs don't decide who will play center in the wjc.
Considering that a lot of good centers will be available (thomas, frost, glass, etc.) and that Suzuki is able to play all 3 positions, it is likely he gets put at wing.

We should have drafted Michkov

How many 50-60 pt players does this turd of a franchise ever put out consistently? Then ask yourself honestly if you think Suzuki will get that. The odds say he's got talent somewhere between Byron and Gallagher, leaving him around a 40pt player. Now if we suck enormously and win a lottery or two the next couple years, Hughes and Lafrenière change the output of all the young kids. This team needs Lafrenière to salvage years of major suckage. They have to do it his draft year, or you know the Penguins or Oilers will just have a way of sucking their way to the 1st overall pick... because they know when to tank.

lol. Skill BETWEEN Gallagher and Byron? So he's marginally more skilled than Byron? Come on, man. You don't hate us that much do you? lol.
