Thoughts on Pius Suter?

[Aesa]

I like the signing. His MO was he plays up to the lines he is assigned. Vancouver would use him on the 3rd and 4th line and then complain about his productivity. The first half of last year they had him on the 4th line with Suter-Blueger-Sherwood. When they moved him up he started playing better and scoring more. By the end of the year he was a 2nd-3rd line player depending upon who was injured. His issue is he is not very good on faceoffs and not really a play maker so teams will also use him on wing, but he can score and can play any position on any line and be productive. What Blues fans will like is he has a little bit of the Saad / Neighbors mentality where he loves working in the crease and always pestering the goalie. He is a garbage goal magnet.

I wish I could get on the ice for about 25 faceoffs. I need to see how the WIN/LOSS works exactly in real life. To me, the other guys on the team (not taking the faceoff) play a big part is who gets the puck and "wins" the faceoff.

I am certain there are a large number of posters that would like to see you take faceoffs against Sunny, Schenn or Thomas. They would eat you alive.

I'm flattered. I was unaware that there were some who want to watch my athletic toughness and skill. Please DM me, and I'll let you know where to set up your lawn chair.

If your ego gets any bigger, there won't be room on the planet for any humans.

Aesa, no matter how big, I'll always reserve a spot on my planet for your lawn chair. Fear not.

I rest my case.
