First, Breaking up Panarin and Mika right now is kind of dumb. They are a legit elite tandem which the Rangers haven't had in a long long time. Secondly, to do it strictly for KK's sake is an even worse decision. It's 2 games into his NHL career, big f***ing deal he hasn't scored yet. Let him adjust to the NHL at his own pace and get comfortable with the league, his surroundings, linemates etc. It's quite a bit for anyone to process, let alone an 18 year old kid.
More than likely, there will be some kind of impetus to put KK on the first PP unit and get some time with Panarin and Mika. 82 games is a long long grind for any player. He will improve and adjust, his talent is such that, it's going to happen, sooner rather than later. Also, don't discount the fact the schedule maker did no favors to us as posters when had a stroke as he got to the Rangers. So it's kind of like an addendum to training camp, which I hope will help #24 get more acclimated.
As for 40-50-60+ points, who cares, if he has 25 points going into the last 10 or 15 games but is starting to control the game and impose his will, who gives a crap how he got to that point. Lets see the end result before we fuss over the amount of points in his rookie season. This is a marathon not a sprint and the amount of points he has in his rookie season playing without a legit center doesn't really matter at this point.
