Nick Suzuki just cracked the NHL Network’s top 20 centers at No. 9 — a jump from last year’s 10th — and Montreal fans are buzzing he deserves even higher, especially after his career-best 101 points, 72 assists, and +37 rating. He also won the Selke Trophy as the league’s best defensive forward, helping the Canadiens dominate even-strength play with a +58 goal advantage when he was on the ice. Meanwhile, Auston Matthews, ranked No. 8, had a down year with only 27 goals in 60 games — while Suzuki nearly doubled his point total and led Montreal to the Eastern Conference Final. With Suzuki’s elite two-way game and seven straight seasons of perfect attendance, his ranking feels surprisingly low compared to Matthews’ injury-plagued campaign — proving that right now, Montreal’s center is arguably the most complete player in the league.
