Base Suter Review!
When I used him I had him on my first line D, PP, PK with TT and T activated.
SKATING: 8/10. Only used that because I think thats the most average I can give to him. What I do like about him is his backskatting is on par with some of the best and he rarely got beaten if you played proper D.
SHOOTING: 7/10. This is the part that disappointed me. He would ALWAYS miss his one time opportunities. I would pass it to him for a D-to-D 1t and he would whiff and the puck would exit the zone. He played on a line with Faulk so I would usually pass it from Suter to Faulk which I will go into detail about.
**HANDS:**9/10. It would be higher if he was more of a deker. I used him on the PP just so he could pass/set people up. with TT activated he can pass like the best and it's one of the things I miss most about him
Checking 8.5/10 He is big, he can hit, plain and simple. Anybody with size and a little speed can hit in this game if you target the opponent well
DEFENSE:10/10 Thats why you wanted him right? He is as shut down as the come, he can poke, stick lift and block shots among the best in the game.
My key to using him, and playing D in general, is don't always poke check. His DAW is so high just a stick in the vicinity of the lane gets the puck.
If you are looking for a shut-down, left-handed, defensive defensmen at a good value, he is your guy!
