Nick Suzuki was also the captain under the former Montreal management, or more specifically the captain under the former Montreal GM, or in french former DG but in this case it should be translated to former GM. Thus the translation is: Nick Suzuki was also the captain under the former Montreal GM

In September 2022, the first summer of the Gorton-Hughes-St-Louis era, Nick Suzuki was named captain of the Habs.

In retrospect, it was the best decision.

But in an interview with JiC with Dominique Ducharme, the plan of the former management was also to name him captain.

It’s interesting to know that, on this, the two managements were on the same wavelength.

Because on different subjects, it was not the case.

The last game of Shea Weber with the Habs and as captain of the team was on July 7, 2021, in the Stanley Cup final. Ducharme and the coaching staff would not have named Suzuki captain the following year, but they probably did not want to rush things. Because yes, retirement had rung for Weber and the coaching staff even thought of naming Corey Perry.

The forward ultimately signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the summer of 2021, so the team’s plans fell through.

In the interview, Ducharme said there was a buffer period between the captaincy of the defenseman and that of Suzuki. After all, the number 14 had just completed his second season in the Bettman circuit…

If we see the best of the Canadian captain at the moment, his former coach believes he can still improve. In 68 games this season, he has 71 points. He should finish the season with at least one point per game. Imagine if Ducharme is right and Suzuki can reach the plateau of 90, or even 100 points, eventually!
