On 98.5 Sports, former Lightning and Senators head coach Guy Boucher said that Nick Suzuki would be a third center on a top team.
"Right now, it's because that's the Habs' situation. We want to see him as a first center. He's on most teams, a second center. But, if he's on a top team today, he's third center in Tampa. He's third center in Colorado. In Toronto, he would clearly be behind Auston Matthews and John Tavares." -Guy Boucher According to Boucher, Rem Pitlick would be on the fourth line on a competitive team.
He also believes Kent Hughes needs to go out and get an experienced defenseman this summer to mentor the young colts.
Do you agree with him?
