-AJ- Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Info from a brief statistical analysis: - Used as a 5/6 in Seattle in both the past two years - LHD - Will turn 29 before the start of the season, so will be 31, at the end of this contract - Very heavy trade protection for a 5/6 defenseman - Very tall player at 6'5", though a little on the slim side at 208 lbs - 3rd best among Seattle D with +18 in 2022-23 - Reasonably physical with 143 hits in 78 games, good for 3rd on the Kraken's D (for reference this would've been 3rd on the Canucks D behind Schenn and Burroughs) - Moderate block frequency at 1.2 per game - Slightly better than average giveaway/takeaway numbers - Point production suggests he's a DFD, but is actually used surprisingly offensively at 54.8% OzS% - Has a tendency to take a lot more penalties than he draws - Two major penalties last year--though I'm not sure what they were, so he probably fights occasionally - Was on the 2nd PK unit and performed quite well - Was the the backup choice for a PP defenseman if Dunn or Schultz weren't available. Fairly poor results. - CORSI is average - His point production was considerably higher in 2021-22. This past year was on pace for 17 points. 2021-22 was on pace for 27 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Good solid 3rd pair D. a tiny bit more pricey in terms of cap hit but the term itself is on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hopefully Soucy, Cole and Irwin will provide plenty of Truculence. Add Juulsen and possibly Woo to the mix and that's a pretty heavy defense that can bang and crash. Can't wait for the season to get going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but I have a feeling fans are expecting way too much of Soucy. I was stunned to find that most fans expect him to play a bigger role than Cole, despite spending almost his entire career on the bottom paring thus far. Cole, on the other hand has spent regular time in the top 4 and even spot duty with guys like Hedman and Sergachev. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Soucy was underutilizing last year and I was impressed with him the most of any Kraken defender whenever they played us. That being said, I am expecting the reality to be somewhere in the middle, where no fan is happy or right. That’s our sweet spot. Lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Here's what I know about Soucy....I hated him when he played against us. Which means I'll probably love him here. Really what I want to say is....GO JT!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Soucy 28-6'5--215 lbs--LD/RD-- #4 or #5--( 17-- 19 minutes - PK guy -gritty, good defensive- will be good for Vancouver. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think of Calgary as our biggest rivals but that goes back over the last 20 years really. Edmonton and Vegas have just blown past us and are too good to be considered rivals, whereas Calgary is still in our weird bubble. Seattle is close but a smidge ahead of us. We had a decent rivalry with the Kings a while back in the playoffs too but again, they've blown past us again so probably don't consider us much of a threat.

Well, that’s because they weren’t quite gift wrapped the team Vegas was and they also haven’t won the Stanley Cup within their first 6 years of existence yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
