He’s a top 15 1C rn but he has the opportunity to be a top 10 in the next couple seasons for sure.

They’ve only all been on their game simultaneously for a short time this season. Once the 2 wingers figure out their defensive game a little better they’ll be deadly as a top unit.

Considering where they're at in their rebuild, injuries, etc., Nick has been the one constant.

The D core is looking like it will be amongst the best in the league in a few years, and with a few more goal scoring forwards, we'll be in very good shape. Just consider that we only have 6 players left from the 2021 SCF team. That's a huge overhaul!

Trust in the process, this team will be stunning lines 1 through 4 and their D will be among the strongest in the NHL on both sides of the puck.

As a MTL fan, he is definitely not top 10, I think there is an argument to have him anywhere in the 14-22 range and that is perfectly fine. The habs have not had a 82 point player in more than a decade, and Suzuki will probably be the first one to reach that barrier. And while not cheating on defense. He has not missed a single game due to injury since the start of his NHL career He is depended on in every situation (PP, PK, last minutes of games, OT, big faceoffs, shootouts) Sorry to Caufield fans but by definition, Suzuki is the most valuable player on the team, by a landslide IMO If he keeps progressing I think he will garner serious looks on the international stage, I could see coaches playing him in a shutdown centre role or as a responsible winger that can do it all next to the big superstars To me, he is the next Patrice Bergeron.

Easily top 15 if not maybe cracking the top 10 c’s

[@wildwilie]

I disagree, theres been a ton of talk about suzuki being close to a point per game and chasing the last player in the organization to do so, Kovalev.

[@MrDecelles]

The whole line is incredible. Caufield has had incredible metrics this year and is getting a 60 points season with the shoulder problem from last year. Slaf has grown tremendously as well. What is missing is secondary scoring and experience at the D line. The lack of secondary scoring threats is what is hampering the Canadiens. You just usually have to shut down the first line to block the canadiens.

Raymond > Suzuki Suzuki is a sick player though. Love his gameplay and vision. Not many players can occasionally give you glimpses of Datsyuk's shadow. Prime pre coked up Kuznetsov had some flashes... But I disgress. Suzuki is a sick player.

I feel like the Montreal stars don’t get enough credit around the league. No one is talking about how well Slaf is playing. The only hab that got tons of credit around the league was price

Habs fans argue over a lot of stuff, like I am not a reinbacher fan, and Habs fans lose their fuckin minds when they read that, lol. One thing Habs fans never argue over, is Suzuki, he's an amazing player, imagine when we got him, he wasn't even the big part of the deal, in fact MOST habs fans were like Suzuki, who's that?? But he's a great captain, his numbers go up every year, and with the right players, he could be a 100 point guy. Put Suzuki with Draisaitl and McDavid, i promise u he breaks 100 points. Gotta remember he's playing with streaky Caufield, sometimes he is scoring nightly, some times u dont see him for 2 weeks, and a rooky in Slafkovsky, whos improvement has been super too!!! Habs r looking good, i wish we were waiting for Michkov, or Leonard to get here, instead of ANOTHER defenseman, they already have at least 12 defensemen, but ya, lets get more, i cant see the logic, i know he's a right D, Habs didnt need more D, they need goal scoring. The D was fine.

[@anthonyst-pierre352]

Is your disliking of Reinacher purely linked to our need for more offense or is there another reason as well? I'm just curious because this is the first I've heard of Reinbacher in a negative light since the fan base is treating him like a messiah or something.

[@toddlauretteHabsFan]

@@anthonyst-pierre352 I dont dislike Reinbacher, im sure he's a great kid. I am upset with the pick first of all, at the time Habs already had over 10 NHL ready D men, plus a couple really good ones coming up in the system, like Logan Mailloux, and Lane Hutson. I think it was a horrible pick based on his numbers, he had one goal last year, and i realize he's supposed to be a defensive defenseman, but one goal? Come on, and he got 3 the year before that, again i realize defensemen aren't all about getting goals, but in today's NHL, Id much rather have a Makar then a David Savard. We could have really helped the team by going with Ryan Leonard, or Matvei Michkov, i thought for sure, if it wasnt one of them, it would be the other. I never dreamed they'd draft a defenseman. Whenever i say anything negative about him on a habs site, i get crucified! lol, I dont mind tho, lol. Its like i said, it's nothing personal against reinbacher, but ive been a Habs fan for 45 years, who knows how many i have left, hopefully the Habs can at least win one more cup before my time is done here! lol. I guess im just over passionate about my Habs!! Thanks for asking so nicely, whenever i get comments about any reinbacher remarks, no matter how true, their not usually met with politeness! lol. To say the least!! But im quite capable of handling a couple crazy Habs fans!! Have a good day!!
