Not sure I agree. His shot isn't near as good as what I think Kotkaniemi could have. His wrister is similar to Galchenyuk, kinda heavy, kinda all over the place and kinda slow to wind up, at least from what Ive seen.
Has he ever taken a clapper, too ? No doubt, he would've been a better goalscorer had he not played with the GOAT, but still.
One thing that I'd love Kotkaniemi to steal from Backstrom is the reverse hits in the corners, he's not the most physical but whenever someone tries to hit him they always end up on their butt, I don't know how he does it every time but it's beautiful.
