If you think Kotkaniemi is ready for a bigger role, you don’t know what you’re watching.
It's almost as if people's opinions can change given more data.

What?...
Have you not read anything I just wrote ? Talk about missing the point.
He's not necessarily ready for a 1st line role, on a contender. Happily, thats not the case for the Habs, and currently theyre playing a guy that will NEVER be ready in his spot.
Who's the last player with upside to be given opportunities and fail ? Oh right, it never happened.
Youre like a BS machine gun.

And both his wingers are in the double digits...Danault has 2 goals
And he has nothing to do with that.And both his wingers are in the double digits...
His 12 assists disagree, but whatever you say guyAnd he has nothing to do with that.
Ten ES assists, 7 of them being secondary.His 12 assists disagree, but whatever you say guy

Danault maybe a pretty mediocre middle 6er, but if you can't see he's good for that line, you need to get a new prescription. Just like Shaw with Domi/Drouin, he just fits. Hopefully with Byron back, Kotkaniemi can find similar chemistry with him and Lehkonen.Ten ES assists, 7 of them being secondary.
We have a playmaker here ! Them 5 primary points! MY LAWD! WHAT A PLAYER!

Not only do you want no pressure, but you don't want him matching up with the the top centers of the world because right now he'd get rekt and you want to keep him confident and feeling like he belongs.He's not for a number of reasons. But the second we wave the flag on this season we can bump him with no untowards consequences. No pressure on the Kid and a taste of where we want him excelling.

WTH.
Someone on twitter suggesting that the Habs should consider having KK play in the world championships, as they did last year with Mete.
Is this a viable option?
Byron and Lehkonen are garbage?If he can't play with anything else than garbage giving him the potential to dominate with high end talent(prospects) at the WJC would sound like an ok plan.
Success feeds confidence.
Byron and Lehkonen are garbage?
I love how everyone Kotka plays with is suddenly garbage lolLehkonens career high is 28 points but keep dreaming he's some high end offensive player. Byron has once hit 40 points, again wow amazing.
Offensively they are nothing to praise at.
The goal should be to develop Kotka into a #1C.
Best way to create an offensive player with blinders is to pair him with the Agostinos and Armias of this world. Kotkaniemi will start to hold onto it a bit longer, because he knows plays wont convert. Then he'll turn into Eller 2.0 or Galchenyuk 2.0 and people will wonder why.I love how everyone Kotka plays with is suddenly garbage lol
Dividing assists into primary/secondary, a sign of a terrible argument.Ten ES assists, 7 of them being secondary.

Agostino was an injury replacement, and Armia is hardly some unskilled guy lmaoBest way to create an offensive player with blinders is to pair him with the Agostinos and Armias of this world.

You're right about confidence, 100%, but you're not keeping your players confident if they don't see tangible results. It's also a myth that he will have to face the toughest matchups if he plays with at least one good winger. It's a stupid myth and you know it. Theres a way to make it all work without the "Huurrrrr durrrrrrrrrrrr Tough Matchupseeeeeh"
Both 3rd line players. Why does Domi get Drouin, and Danault get Tatar/Gally but Kotkaniemi gets 3rd liners ?Agostino was an injury replacement, and Armia is hardly some unskilled guy lmao
Also RIGHT NOW he;s lining up with Byron and Lehkonen, both skilled guys.
I love how everyone Kotka plays with is suddenly garbage lol
Kotka got first crack at Drouin and couldn’t make it work where Domi and Drouin had instant chemistry. Danault gets Tatar and Gallagher because that line can be used in any situation and is incredibly effective. It’s pretty obvious.Both 3rd line players. Why does Domi get Drouin, and Danault get Tatar/Gally but Kotkaniemi gets 3rd liners ?
