Nick Suzuki may look small, but he certainly doesn’t play that way. One of the youngest players in this year’s NHL draft, Suzuki offers a blend of smarts, speed, and skill that makes him one of the most intriguing offensive players in this year’s draft.
Suzuki was one of the OHL’s best players this past season as a 17-year-old. He scored the fourth-most goals (45) and fifth-most points (96), and led the Owen Sound Attack as an alternate captain to their best regular season and postseason finish since 2012-13. He also played in every situation this season, and was a fixture on Owen Sound’s top power play and penalty kill units.
