Nah, since Toews Duchene had the most productive rookie year by a number 3 pick but by year 3 a few of them had already broken out. It's go time for Jesperi, which definitely includes giving him more ice time to see what he's really made of right now
Oh right, Duchene had .67 to .64 and and .56, still thats not what Id call dominating either way.
Still something to be said about ice-time.
17:44 for Duchene
16:56 for Huberdeau
12:19 for Galchenyuk
Kotkaniemi is #61 for PPG in first round pick rookie seasons since 09-10 and when you take a peek at his raw production to ice-time, he's one of the best.
Kevin Hayes (D+4) had 45 in 79 playing 13:02
Rob Thomas (D+2) had 33 in 70 playing 13:04
Joe Drouin (D+2) had 32 in 70 playing 13:14
Robby Fabbri (d+2) had 37 in 72 playing 13:19
Kuznetsov (D+4) had 37 in 80 playing 13:20
To see significant production, aside from Hayes, you have to go to 14:30 + Otherwise theres nothing.
Which brings me back to the ice-time thing... Sigh.
Coincidentally, Kotkaniemi has the 3rd most point for a 3rd OA rookie season behind Duchene and Dubois (Huberdeau and Galchenyuk wouldve probably outproduced but had shortened seasons.)
