Kucherovs development

[Paul4587]

He doesn't have the best hands, fastest legs, hardest shot or biggest strength, but he has arguably the greatest hockey iq in the history of the game.

History of the game?? I don’t think so somehow...

On the flipside his hands, passing and shiftiness are all outstanding. Maybe not the best but certainly up there.

EP's hockey IQ is his strongest attribute imo, his potential is similar to Kucherov

Id put TVR there too.

He is our shinning light in the darkness of the NHL.

Make that 99. Tampa scores 5 times, Kuch is involved 5 times (2 goals, 3 assists). He now has 7 goals and 18 points in his last 5 games.

Wayne Gretzky had better hockey Iq

Many people who will eclipse him in the forthcoming years, just wait.

I remember everyone drooling over Yakupov and Grigorenko at the WJC, and Kucherov was so clearly better than both - and how impossible it was to admit that this second round pick was better than these blue chip prospects (myself included, but in hindsight it was so obvious).

 

[tapi]

He's a decent player but how many more in the league are just simply better? Even the most objective observer would point out at least 3 players. Crosby, Malkin and Ovi are easily better at this point and that's the conservative opinion. However, should Kucherov prove his level, this could be a real discussion in a few years.

Idk he only scored 18 points at 21 so by HF standards he must be a bust you'd be lucky to get 3rd/4th for him
