Tkachuk - Stutzle - Batherson VS Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
- Thread starter JungleBeat
- Start date
I think Suzuki is pretty comfortably the best of the bunch and I think Slaf is gonna be as good as Tkachuk pretty soon. Stutzle is the most overrated player in the league. The others are meh. I voted Montreal's guys.

The Habs have been a 1-line team all season long and are tied in points with the Ottawa Senators in as many games. Yet, we are the second liners?

Yes they’re second liners, because none of them have proved anything other than that. The ottawa duo has.

That they can get above 80 points mainly.
Pretty much the barrier for a top line player. They’ve both done it. Having a down year, but you can’t take that away from them. Suzuki is having a career year, still not at that level.
I hate the Habs as much as the next guy but Suzuki is a far more complete player than Stutzle. It also doesn't help that Tkachuk and Stutzle might have the two most punchable faces in the league.

id go the sens trio now but if slaf can carry over his production into next season then this becomes very close.

Stutzle took a step back this year but has almost 100% been playing through injury. While this could be the new norm for Suzuki going forward it is also just as likely that he regresses next year as he isn't going to continue shooting 18.4%.
Ask me again next year

Just for fun
Career highs:
83-90-62
Vs
60-75-48
That's like 15-20 points per player on average lol

Voted senators trio but that doesn't mean Montreal Trio does not have a chance to get better and pass the Sens trio.

Suzuki might or might not continue to shoot at 18.4%, but his linemate Caufield isn't going to continue shooting at 8.1% and Slaf is only going to get better

He almost certainly won't continue to shoot at 18% just like Stutzle wasn't going to continue shooting 17%. I agree Slaf is going to get better given his age and promising play this year, just like I believe Stutzle will rebound next year after clearly playing injured for much of the year.
While his play has been excellent this year, Suzuki is clearly the beneficiary of a career year so I'm genuinely curious to see how he progresses next year.
Hence, ask me again next year.

Suzuki shot at 16% last year. If he shot at 16% this year, it would've resulted in only 4 fewer goals, which isn't much of a difference.
I voted Ottawa. Pool was who was the best trio right now. Montreal’s could potentially become better long term though
Ottawa has had a lot more support offensively than Montreal did in the past couple of years. We’re also comparing a 26-24-22 years old to a 24-23-19 years old. Not that fair.
I think it has more to do with the fact that he’s finally playing with quality players. I believe last year he finished the last 35ish games with Harvey-Pinard as the second best forward and Barron as the best D. The guy was literally alone.
I'd expect Slaf to become better than Tkachuk down the line but he's not there yet.
And I think i'd give Stutzle the benefit of the doubt for 1 more year over suzuki. As annoying as the diving is, it does provide significant value.

Voted for the Habs
The best player of both team is clearly Suzuki, since he has the most points, plays the better two way game and bonus point: he ain't not bitch like Timmeh
Caufield had a down year and still put up 60 points
Slafkovsky is on the rise and could actually be the best player of them 6

What, are you going to argue that Suzuki isn't the best player of them all 6 this year?

That's not what I said. Re read what I said.
You're writeup was promoting all 3 habs players while trashing the sens...
For example, you praise Caufield for still getting 60 points on a down year.
But then stutzle has 70 points on a down year and instead of getting praise like Caufield, gets bashed.
Your whole post just read like it was very one sided. Like you weren't giving a fair and honest unbiased opinion but rather acting like a Habs fan trying to promote Habs at all cost.
Has nothing to do with how good Suzuki is or anything. I didn't even mention Suzuki. Your post just is very obvious that it comes from a Habs fan. I don't recognize your username or pic, yet I know right away by your post that you're a die hard Habs fan lol.
Maybe just try to not make it look so obvious? Lol
