The Montreal Canadiens made an exceptional trade when they dealt star left winger Max Pacioretty for Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki and a second round pick. Suzuki was the key to the deal, and a year later he looks even better than the day he became Canadiens property.
Suzuki had already built up quite the resume at that point in his career. He had just scored 100 points for the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League. The season previous he had the same success, scoring 45 goals and 96 points.
He was named captain of the Attack last season and continued his successful pace.
