I really like Kucherov, although part of what I liked his how well his game would have meshed with Stamkos. With Drouin now in Tampa that possibility might be gone. He does have a game fit for a top line and if nothing else could become a top PP producer.
Slepyshev is a little tougher to gauge. He is a very good player, but was completely passed over in the draft last year because he's signed in Russia and has never really come out and showed interest in playing in the NHL. With the Oilers drafting him, with Yakupov and Belov on the team, along with Zharkov in the system I'm sure they're hoping to convince him to come over.
Both have top line potential. Check out Kucherov's stats from the MHL, the U18 a couple years ago, and the Quebec league. Obviously stat watching yada yada but it gives you a clue of his explosive ability.
