Needs to use his shot more.

realy happy for the Kid !!!!

 

[ottawa]

GOATkaniemi with his 1st and 2nd.

 

[CP4]

I feel like this kid will have a Hischier like rookie season.

He won't have a Hart winner Hall playing with him...

 

[CP4]

He won't have a Hart winner Hall playing with him...

Yet I still think he'll put up 50+ points while playing solid defense.

 

[lawrence]

happy for the Habs. Habs are surprisingly good this year too. Like very good.

Anyone still thinking he was a reach?

More than a reach, basically a 3rd overall pick, maybe even second. By far #1 overall centre position. No argument available with that

Exactly. Hisichier is lucky to play with hall

 

[Hostile Offer]

I feel like this kid will have a Hischier like rookie season.

Hischier is much more dynamic than Kotkaniemi and I think that separates them but Kotkaniemi putting up close to similar numbers this season wouldn't surprise me. This kid is a stud.

Sweet pick by the Habs. I disagree and have since game 1 with those that suggested he should be sent down. I think the NHL is perfect for his development and he seems to be getting better every game. The points will come.

Really good player and not “just for his age” either imo. What’s not to like about JK ?

Where are those guys saying "Zadina AINEC", "Zadina is elite and Kotka won't be a top line center"?

“Kotkaniemi’s too slow and didn’t even play center last year in Finland”

Shows how much we know, eh? I didn't think he'd stick for over 9 games.

I don’t think many knew how much of an impact he’d have, but a lot were criticizing the pick.

 

[Peeps]

Anyone still thinking he was a reach?

He never was. People saying that don't know scouting. He's playing in his 2nd pro season. That should say a lot.

 

[EveryDay]

He's the best forward passer I've seen in MTL since Kovalev. Hockey IQ is off the chart.

Kovalev of all people?

 

[abo9]

Good lord here I was worried about his offensive production/confidence just yesterday

I know its one game but from his facial expressions I think it was way more than only "2 goals"

Glad for him!

 

[Deam78]

His long stick serves him well for that kind of play!

Radulov?
