I don't think Mozyakin is in that conversation anymore.. It's between Kaprizov and Dawes, realistically.
Absolutely. Reminds me of Brayden Point a little bit the way they have been scoring.At the very same time, Kaprizov has nice instincts, but he doesn't have the same shot like Kovalchuk/Ovechkin, or a wrister like Semin/Tarasenko. So I doubt he will be scoring as much in the NHL.
You are probably right. Maybe I am just used to Mozyakin being a top goalscorer.

Not a bad comparsion. Parise is more of an energy player than Kaprizov. But yeah, both smart players, good in front of the net, nice shot.Might be a lazy comparison but the way he scores around the net and his build he kind of reminds me of Parise, better hands though.
He is a smart player, finds chemistry with different teammates.His shots are various, though. He can wrist shoot, he can slap shoot, he can one time, and he's much better around the net, than any of aforementioned.
Opportunity, skill level and potential.Honest question, what makes him more suitable to the NHL than Shumakov was? Or was Shumakov just not given a fair chance? They had very similar seasons in the KHL last year.
They aren't even on the same planet talent-wise. Everything else is gravy.Honest question, what makes him more suitable to the NHL than Shumakov was? Or was Shumakov just not given a fair chance? They had very similar seasons in the KHL last year.
You have the rights to player drafted from KHL much longer (someone knows the exact length). Russia did not sign the EURO-NHL agreement, and I wished Sweden stayed out it aswell. So many players ruined by being rushed.Wasn't signed in 2015 (draft year), not in 2016, not in 2017 nor in 2018 - How is he a still Wilds prospect???
