I've seen it coming since his junior days with the Red Army, but who am I? NHL GMs and scouts know better drafting him the 2nd.

How many Russian busts would you have drafted in the 1st?

Only Canadians draft russian busts.

Only Canadians draft russian busts.

Lol, only Canadians draft.

 

[Senor Catface]

Only Canadians draft russian busts.

Well, better not bring up the KHL draft then.

I knew Kuch was going to be a superstar as soon as I first met his mother when she was pregnant.

 

[Atas2000]

Lol, only Canadians draft.

You better delete this post before anybody sees it.

This kid does it all. Somewhere between Datsyuk and Fedorov. Tampa's drafting and developing has been incredible.

Always caught my eye when I watched them in the playoffs, still had no idea how good he was until Stamkos got healthy.

Jeez Rick, curb your enthusiasm.

I said before the season that he was the best russian in the league. Not shocked at all by his play. He's been this since 2015.

It wasn't so long ago there was intense debate over which of the triplets was the best... I said it was easily Kucherov for the record!

I voted Palat for "two-way play." At the time they seemed to be equivalent offensively, so I thought his D put him over the top.

...

But now they're not equivalent offensively.

I don't see any Fedorov or Datsyuk in him. Mogilny OTOH...

Style wise or how good he is? He isn't as good of an overall player as either of them were in their prime.

Yeah I think he's more comparable to Mogilny but even better.
