You can question the pick if you want, but he’s over .5PPG in his 19 year old KHL season. That’s really good. Not many historically have done that. At least in the KHL he’s producing very well for a player his age. There aren’t really many comparables producing like he was at his age that didn’t turn into average or better NHL’ers. Only Yakupov, Tolvanen and Filatov, and the problem with those guys wasn’t that they weren’t good prospects. That’s the contention with Chinakhov from some. Some claim he was worth nowhere near a first round pick this year. Production-wise, the pick absolutely looks acceptable for now.
