Nick Suzuki

For the third straight campaign, Suzuki established new career highs in goals and points, finishing 2023-24 with 33 and 77, respectively, across 82 appearances. That steady growth has been encouraging, but how much higher can the 25-year-old's production climb? Rather than growth, we might see some regression in goals. His shooting percentage was at 17.8 percent in 2023-24, which isn't high enough to be a glaring red flag, but it borders on concerning. At the very least, the fact that he's never reached the 200-shot mark -- he had 185 in 2023-24 -- hurts his fantasy value a touch in leagues using that category. His plus/minus also tends to be poor with a combined minus-56 mark over the last three years, and while that's a byproduct of being on a rebuilding team, it's still another modest negative. Suzuki's still a great bet to record over 70 points this season, including at least 25 with the man advantage, so he'll provide plenty of value to fantasy managers.
