Norris right now, and maybe slight edge to Kotkaniemi down the line. Honestly don’t see how KK has a higher ceiling, Norris has all the tools as well.
Also don’t understand the knock on Norris’ point to totals because of KK’s power play opportunities. Maybe he’s just not good enough offensively to crack PP1 time. Fairly certain if Norris was on the Habs he’d be on that #1 powerplay.
IMO I see Norris being as effective as an Elias Lindholm type at his peak and Kotkaniemi being a Mikael Backlund. (In terms of effectiveness)
I’d like to see some analytics that Norris is ahead of Kotkaniemi on the defensive side of the puck though, eye test from match ups this season shows KK being far more engaged defensively.
