I mean, Suzuki’s ceiling is a decent 1c, on a cup contender, he’d be an elite 2c most likely though

Also, the obligatory

Let’s hope. If he can be a 1C then that will be huge. Maybe if the Habs had better wingers

they have caufield on one side and probably josh anderson on the other currently (if someone can learn to play defense on that line)
hopefully they get a winger and a dman in 2022 and 2023, and hopefully a C too cuz dvorak isnt looking great

If Wright only becomes as good as Suzuki then that’s really not great because then the Habs if they drafted him would essentially have 2 second line centers

If he really pans out as the best player of the draft class and an elite 2C is the the absolute most he becomes, I don't see how the Habs drafting him is a bad thing. What more could they do?

I’m not sure how Suzuki will pan out as the best player of the draft class seeing as how Pettersson, Makar, Heiskanen etc were drafted in the same year

3 of 4 points on a back to back in Florida will take that

Holl your done. Pressbox for you Lybushkin despite being smaller knows what net front coverage is.

1 Goal, 1 Assist, 2 Points in 5 games for Justin Barron
1 Goal (ENG), 0 Assists, 1 point in 4 games for Arturri Lehkonen

W.

I don't know about tonight, but he was +3.
If he wasn't on the ice for a goal against, he has only 1 PP goal against.

Still dont understand what happened as im trying to find where he got hurt. Cause the puck didnt hit him anywhere bad.

That's bold.

You assumed NJ actually had a goalie.

More like Jim Benning and bad UFA signings. At least the bad man is gone, he can’t hurt us anymore. Leafs on the other hand will continue to choke. Thry better train their in arena staff to learn the Heimlich maneuver
