Post-Game Talk: Suzuki Seals Preseason- Habs win 4-3

It's too late to send KK down. It would mess with the team chemistry and would destroy his confidence.

We just have to hope he'll play like KK last year when the games start to matter.

I'd also put him on our PP1. If he doesn't get it going this team is immediately less interesting.

I’m confident KK will be just fine. Not worried at all.

Yeah, I don't see a point in sending him down. He's proven he can be effective at an NHL level, let him continue to develop here against tougher competition and surrounded by better (albeit sometimes marginally) players. I don't like the baptism by fire approach we put him through out of sheer necessity, I'd hate to see it replicated with Suzuki and Poehling. Ease them into their new roles, shelter them when/if possible and don't throw the weight of the season on their shoulders because guys like Drouin like to hibernate and disappear for stretches of time.

At the very least, the addition of Suzuki and Weal gives us more options in the top 9, so KK doesn't have to be chained to Armia and Lehkonen.

Even better if Poehling can make his way to the top 3 lines at some point.

They mentioned that he was dead tired. Kudos to Suzuki for identifying this and then capitalizing in the best way possible. Very perceptive for a young guy.

I said last year he would make it out of camp, best player I have seen on the Guelph Storm. He gets points exactly like he did there, steals it like Hossa and buries. I predict a 20 goal and 20 assist season
