Jesperi Kotkaniemi is the next...

@KevSkillz4 you've started 9 threads featuring jesperi Kotkaniemi and he's still a rookie! What's with the obsession!?

Don't you have a good idea of what hf thinks about him?

Honestly comparing him to barkov kopitar and bergeron is just nuts. He's not that good

But im in love with the CoCo (KoKo) lol

 

[CupInSIX]

He reminds me of a mix of Malkin and Kopitar tbhf

These guys are all elite defensively, I dont know if Kotka will get there

 

[ESH]

Is he really expected to be that good defensively?

lol do u even watch the games? At 18yo KK is already close to elite defensively in terms of positioning, gap control, and two way play. Especially forechecking. Hes only gonna get better.

Great player, practically an Olli Jokinen clone.

He's already extremely responsible in the defensive zone...you can just tell he's a favourite of Claude Julien because of his defensive game.

Well...against Columbus he was out there when the game was 3-2 and like 3 minutes left. He IS good defensively. And the coach trusts him.

I think Mikko Koivu is a fine comparison. I hope he has a bit more offense to him than Koivu, though.

Kotkaniemi already is great defensively and he's 18. He's going to be a Selke favorite.
