Nick Suzuki vs Pierre-Luc Dubois

[Odie Cleghorn]

Suzuki is 1 year younger but he has unlimited potential, while PLD is beasically at his peak

-habs fans, basically

What you are ignoring is that Dubois has been in the NHL 4 years and Suzuki 1. Linemates aside Dubois is likely closer to his potential than Suzuki. Dubois took a while to develop but he has produced in the last couple of years. He will likely score even more with the linemates he will have but probably not significantly more. I would expect Suzuki and Dubois to have similar careers production wise.

Suzuki is better but it doesn't matter. PLD will be his teammate in Montreal in 3 years.

Doesn't really matter. One has been playing nhl level longer.

It's not a knock on the player who's been playing the big leagues longer

Youre responding to a guy who thinks Markov is in the same tier as Lidstrom and vezinas dont count. His opinion on Habs players shouldnt be taken seriously.

When is the early PLD can become an UFA?

4 years but RFa expires in 2 years for another negotiation.

Hopefully for the Jets there will be a long contract extension next year....

I'm sure there will be! The Jets are an awesome organization - and it helps his dad also works for them!

 

[Cleatus]

Suzuki is gonna be a pretty awesome player, but even on a team like the Leafs, that already has 2 elite centers, I'd go with PLD (and maybe convert him to wing).

 

[Koivu11]

Thats why youre a poster on HF and there are other people in charge of running hockey teams.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Yeah.....


We'll keep Suzuki, thank you very much (would still take PLD on my team tho, but most certainly NOT at the cost of Suzuki)

 

[cg98]

PLD had a bad year, but the potential at 22 years of age is still there, hes already had a 60pt season and singlehandedly manhandled Toronto last year.

I still would’ve much preferred Suzuki to f***ing Marko Dano...

 

[Habano]

This is a very easy one for me. Most Hab fans and those who are not biased will choose Suzuki. All the rest will choose PLD because of the star appeal that his name conjures up.

Suzuki is 21 and PLD is 23 and their PPGs are almost identical with a negligible edge to Suzuki. The cap hit for Suzuki is 900K and PLD is 5 million.

We could have had PLD for Suzuki but Bergevin declined and that was a very good decision.

There is no right or wrong because they can both end up being very good players. As a Hab fan however, as it stands now, there is no way I trade Suzuki for PLD.

 

[Habs Icing]

I can see the poll results and the "expert" comments of many posters haven't aged very well. But I guess many posters couldn't miss out on an opportunity to give a Hab player a dig.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

After watching PLD this season and particularly in the Habs series, i do not want him in a Habs jersey. He's a malcontent and an underachiever. I don't see any heart in his play/game. He doesn't seem to care.

Suzuki on the other hand...

 

[ottawa]

I would not trade Suzuki for Dubois one for one.

Thats why youre a poster on HF and there are other people in charge of running hockey teams.

When will people start eating crow. Suzuki has 7 less points in these playoffs than Dubois had in the regular season.

Suzuki then and Suzuki now.

 

[The Great Weal]

How's the prediction looking like Nostradamus?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I`d stick to Suzuki who has been pretty much amazing for the 2 years since being here. I wouldn't be against adding a Dubois though in the lineup!

And yours are?

 

[Namikaze Minato]

And yours are?

So you don't think Markov is in the same tier as Lidstrom?

I'm enjoying your bumps, it shows how insanely insecure you are as a person haha.

 

[A Plus]

Dubois stinks

his career high is already behind him; he doesnt have the attitude go move forward

if he grows up then maybe

 

[Techcoockie]

This poll result is correct.

Is it still ?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Is it still ?

Yes

 

[Saxon]

We need a 3C when Danault leaves!!!!

 

[Thenameless]

Suzuki. But I'll admit outright that I'm probably just a victim of the moment. Shoot me.
