DON Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 22-24 minutes icetime for Dach in the last 3 games, looks good on him. Wideman was the most glaring weakness. Is Suzuki trying to do too much? I know he extended at least a couple shifts, when he had a chance to and should of changed? Nice to see Allen play well in return, too bad PP still sucks.

RDS commentators have been saying all season that Suzuki tends to extend his shifts far to often. Seems like it is not something MSL is concerned about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 It’s tough to properly judge Suzuki right now because he traded Caufield for Pitlick and Dach for Anderson… Its also clear that Dach is a centre, a very good and growing centre that might just be better than Suzuki at some point.

Seems like it is not something MSL is concerned about I wouldn’t be concerned with Suzuki extending his shifts this season either, as long as it doesn’t result in injury. It would be nice to have a high-scoring workhorse. Also once his shifts are reigned in, he will conserve less energy and it should make him a more explosive player.

Seems like it is not something MSL is concerned about I remember reading recently (maybe in The Athletic) that this is something St. Louis has tried to address with Suzuki but Suzuki hasn't necessarily bought in yet. In Suzuki's defence, his line has basically been the only one all season long that can score so I can see why he might be inclined to stay out there longer.

He’s playing with a marginal NHL’er, and a guy who plays his ass off but usually has zero chemistry with his linemates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don’t want him on the wing anymore, now that he seems to have his confidence. Let him improve at centre playing centre! Something that MT and MB never seemed to grasp, except when they wanted to turn the great French hope winger MB traded for into a centre.

To be fair to those guys, although I’m not sure why I’d want to be, Galchenyuk probably wasn’t a serious candidate for C in retrospect. The big mistake with him was not leaving him develop properly in the minors in the first place. The last few weeks of Kirby Dach’s play at C are great news for the organization. Hopefully he both sustains it and continues to progress. Having Suzuki followed by a fast, tough-to-play-against, productive power C will be a great recipe for the rebuild. Go Kirby go!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
