Kapanen is on a hot streak right now

suzuki just got overrated, just like caufield and romanov. it happens to all habs prospects. still a good player just not a 1c. maybe someday.

he has points in 2 of his last 6+ games so idk about that

he drove me crazy with how he played and I was rooting for the other team

Last games I watched he has scored a goal so I guess not my bad

he's very streaky lol. he could go 6 games with 10 points and go 20 without one

Reminds me of vrana

When you have the luxury of watching Crosby and Malkin dominate from the beginning of their careers, you tend to get a skewed perspective. Most players have growing pains, especially on bad teams, and take time to reach their potential.
Suzuki's doing fine for a player drafted outside the top 10 who was acquired through trade. If he was going to be a point per game player and do everything right at this stage of his career, he would have been drafted higher and he wouldn't have been traded.

sure, he's doing well in consideration of where he was drafted, but I'm talking about how Habs fans view him. You're right, I've been blessed with Sid and Geno, but even they go through rough patches (although it may be hard to believe). I just don't see him being the 1C if Montreal ever wins a cup soon

omfg finally someone gets it
i got basically got murdered when i said that suzuki is overratted by mtl fans

Most fans have a high opinion of their own prospects, Montreal is hardly unique in that regard, just perhaps more vocal.
Like it or not, he's the 1C by default until there's a challenger for the position. Koivu, Plekanec, Desharnais, Danault, etc., while all good players in their own right, were in similar situations.
Montreal has failed to acquire and develop an elite 1C, but they've all had windows where they performed as such. Maybe Suzuki changes that, maybe not, but he'll still be a good player and he will have his time.
At this age, on this team, you have to look more at the positives. The good gets better while the bad decreases. That's part of a player's development.

I quite like that trade for the Nucks, but think Zucker's cap hit is just too high.
I'd swap him for Aston-Reese and still take the trade.
