    Default Thoughts on Kucherov?

    Is this kid for real? Do you see him consistently producing at a decent level? I'm not going to expect him to produce at the ridiculous he is now, but whats his outlook going forward? Thanks for the input!

    Grab him while he's hot and hope it continues. Don't think it will, but if he remains a serviceable winger, then it's a big win. his dual eligibility is nice too.

    If he ends up long term on a line with Stamkos, it will contend for best line in the league.

    Well he scored 18 points all of last year and is already at 11 points in 20% of the games. I say ride him while he is hot and drop him as soon as he has 3 games without production.
    In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:

    G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
    C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
    LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
    RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
    D - Yandle, DeAngelo

    W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
    G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
    IR+ - Tarasenko

    His upside is PPG and 40 goals. This year, I expect 50-60 points. He will produce regardless of playing time with Stamkos. In fact he has been red-hot playing with Palat and Johnson, a line I expect will stick together for awhile.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    Obviously wont keep this pace, but he's very skilled. I would say that 55ish points isn't out of the question. If he sticks on a line with Stammer, anything is possible

    He's for real but even so, that doesn't mean his point production will be as elite as it seems at the moment.
    He's actually playing on a line atm with Palat and Johnson so he isn't even relying on Stamkos to create opportunities for him.
    However, I don't see that as much of a problem since teams' top D will be spent defending Stammer's line, meaning that Kucherov's line will face lower-tier competition.

    And in the event that he gets moved up to Stammer's line, I think Stam's skill will nevertheless offset the jump in competition that Kucherov ends up facing, IF that occurs.
