I’m not deriding him or people who hype him, just questioning his upside. I know we’ve talked about this before but it’s not personal in anyway.
Sure, but the Kaprizov benchmark is a hard one to match. In comparison, no one will measure up (for starters, because a lot of top guys were in NHL by D+3)
Looking at D+3 seasons in KHL:
Kaprizov : 65gp 17g 33a 50pts (0.77 ppg)
Gritsyuk: 53gp 23g 16a 39pts (0.74 ppg)
Kuznetsov: 76gp, 24g, 31a, 55pts (0.72 ppg)
Gusev: 55gp, 21g, 16a, 37pts (0.67 ppg)
Nichushkin: 45gp, 12g, 17a, 29pts (0.64 ppg)
Marchenko: 55gp, 18g, 14a, 32pts (0,58 ppg)
Buchnevich: 72gp, 17g, 23a, 40pts (0.56 ppg)
Kravtsov: 54gp, 18g, 10a, 28pts (0.52 ppg)
Panarin: 57gp, 13g, 15a, 28pts (0.49 ppg)

They're very much so similar.
Now do Panarin
