The sequence that led to this goal was good too. Suzuki carried it over the line and cousins and he fought downlow for possession which led to this

He's starting to show some flashes of what he'll be able to do on a regular basis in a few years. I love his progression so far this season.

Great part is Cousins reaction on the bench. Loving that pass and acknowledging it to Suzuki. Awesome gesture.

He has brains, but I'm seriously concerned his skating will significantly limit his effectiveness.
Other than that, he surprised me positively with his resilience. Was on a fast track to Laval, but refused to be unsettled and keeps improving.

I was happy to see another not too big, not too fast player do well last year: O'Reilly.
I'll have to see Suzuki's pace at 25 years old before I start to worry about his pace. He'll keep working on his skating and increase his speed as he gets older. Gallagher was much slower when he first came into the league.

I'd like to think he'll keep working on that aspect and hopefully improve to a point where it's at least not a negative. He's actually not bad agility/quick turn wise, he's just not able to generate much explosiveness and his lower body looks a bit weak . I can copy and paste that with Kotka honestly, he's in the same boat.

Skating never held back Mark Stone and I dont think Suzuki is a bad skater whatsoever

Suzuki is not a bad skater but watching him on the ice with that high IQ both defensively and offensively, you just wish his skating was a tad more explosive. Like many have said, he'll most likely improve that aspect of his game.

He looked pretty explosive in preseason. Hes already improved tremendously since last year and I'm sure he will keep improving.

Making him play with a more meat and potatoes line is a genius move by Julien. He's bringing more shift-to-shift consistency.

You mean he hasn’t already?
Kotka has been hot garbage this year, I’d honestly send him down to Laval and call up Poehling at this rate.

I'm not sure how much more your skating can improve or if you can suddenly become "explosive" . That's a lot to do with fast twitch muscle and genetics.
That being said he has the hockey smarts and hands. I predicted last year he would become a very good NHLer. Not elite but very good.
