False. 2018 1st rounders currently playing in Europe:
Veleno - 0,47 PPG in SHL
Bokk - 0,15 PPG in SHL
Kaut - 0,25 in Czech Extraliga, then 0,62 in Allsvenskan
Wahlstrom - 0,8 PPG in Allsvenskan
Zadina - 0,93 PPG in Czech Extraliga
Hayton - 0,5 PPG in the SHL
Kotkaniemi - 0,8 PPG in the Liiga
I'd say Kravtsov's 0,46 PPG in the KHL on a rather low-scoring team is perfectly in line with these numbers. We aren't talking about 6-7th rounders here. None of these guys are really dominating their leagues (Zadina's numbers look good but he is still just 5th on the team in scoring, needless to say, it's a pretty ridiculous team). Neither is Kravtsov so he probably isn't the new Gretzky, probably not even the new Kuznetsov, but he is doing fine.
His only fault is being overhyped. A Russian goes in the top-10 and everyone expects a new Malkin. The same thing is happening to Podkolzin now. Thanks Craig Button, I guess. By the way, a special shoutout to
@Amazing Kreiderman who did such a great job in that regard on these boards during Kravtsov's D+1 season too.
