Suzuki, now 26 years old, is one of the best centers in the NHL.
Drafted 13th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017 (during their very first draft), he has recorded 375 points in 455 NHL games so far, all with the Montreal Canadiens.
Last season, he collected 89 points in 82 games, including 30 goals, and is without a doubt the most important player for the Tricolore.
It's also worth noting that over the last four seasons, he has played 82 games, 82 games, 82 games, and 82 games.
