Suzuki is PPG right now, being the ONLY decent center on the team not injured. He plays PP, PK gets a lot of defensive assignment on a terrible team... and he is only 24.
He's the best center we've had since Koivu... and that's like more than 20 years ago.
So not trading him for Judas, a late first, and a KHL Dman (while looking extremely good) who hasn't proven anything in the show yet, where many KHL top players have failed...remember than Chris Wideman had 41pts in 59 games in his time in the KHL.
Nikishin >>>>> Wideman, but let's just say that it doesn't always translate. Which is not a risk I'm willing to take for our 24 yo center going to pop 75 pts this year.
