Confirmed with Link: Pius Suter signing with the Wings

[stillwater]

Okay, there's a Strome thread 4 pages deep on the Hawks forum that has been unposted to since May. I'm 4 pages in from the end of it (the most recent posts), and still no mention of Pius Suter.

The signing is fine, just wondered where the Strome stuff was coming from. No reason not to believe it's there somewhere.

You and I are reading different threads, my dude.

Confirmed Signing with Link: - [DET] Pius Suter signs with the Red Wings (2 years, $3.25M AAV)

 

[stillwater]

Appreciate that link, thanks.

On the first or second line, he should be a 20-goal a season bargain, without the effort issues and ego issues that we endured from a couple of others in that 20-goals category recently (who shall not be named). Plus he's younger.

Somebody wishes Chicago kept him:

The Chicago Blackhawks really should've hung onto forward Pius Suter

I'm looking forward to seeing how the kid does in a very different situation here.

Aside from having Patrick Kane/DeBrincat, the two franchises were in similar situations, last year. With Toews coming back, I think that pushed Suter down the depth chart a bit too far for his liking, because Dach was always going to be the 2C for them. I'm super happy with the Suter signing.

The smart move would have been for them to move Strome. One dimensional center that isn't a great skater. They probably could have gotten a decent asset in return for him, moved Suter down to the 3C or to a 2W spot.

Play center. Gah. Hehe. Gonna try everyone at it.

He's a beast, I think the Wings are going to be better than expected this season. I can see him and Vrana going off.

Silky mitts in tight & around the crease. Excellent reflexes for 2nd/3rd chances & spur of the moment plays. Charges the net, good give 'n go'er.

 

[Henkka]

Liked some of those passing plays.

Also good finisher.

I agree but Bowman is just moving everybody who's due for a raise these days.

Didn't look like that with Seth Jones.

I think the thing I am looking forward with with Suter is how he could potentially unlock Zadina. Watching Suter with Debrincat last year - you could see how having a high skill sniper like Zadina with the uptempo, direct setups from Suter could result in a nice year for both of them.

 

[Henkka]

Interesting stats about Suter:

He played mostly with Debrincat and Patty Kane.

xGF% with DeBrincat and Kane
46.2% (11.9 for - 13.9 against)

xGF% with Kane without DeBrincat
41.7% (4.44 for - 6.21 against)

xGF% without Kane and without DeBrincat
51.4% (10.3 for - 9.8 against)

I've read numerous Hawks fans informing how we was a Kane-product, but this doesn't seem like that. They were good when DeBrincat was involved, stats were also good with DeBrincat and without Kane, but very small sample size. But It didn't work well with Kane.

Maybe with Kane it was the toughest opposite competition, but at Detroit he doesn't have to try be carrying first line. It's Larkin's job.

I think he might be better with Vrana personally. Suter played well with DeBrincat because they play the game at the same speed.

And for what it's worth, Suter was only involved in 10 goals with Patrick Kane (6 of his own and 4 of Kane's).

Yes, but I want Vrana to play with Larkin and have them both move at full speed like two scarlet Speedsters, unleashing destruction at inhuman velocity and having Vrana play with Suter messes that up so I'm going to talk myself into the narrative that Zadina is Suters ideal partner based on nothing other than intuition rooted in self-interest.

I want Larkin and Vrana separated until we have speed partners for them both.

Bergreen is a speed partner for Vrana

If this guy’s not a center, is he any use to us?

I highlighted the most important part of your post...

 

[SoupGuru]

I don't think he looks too out of place. He had a handful of decent chances last game. I'm willing to be patient and see if he finds a groove.
