His defense compares to Jordo as his offense compares to Aho. To say he is Jordan’s replacement at 3C “but more offensive” is drastically underselling what Staal does on defense. KK can’t do what Staal can do.

But it sounds good so let's just go with it like a man floating down a lazy chocolate river.

I'd go as far as to say KK reminds me of a Finnish Willy Wonka. Wilhelm Wiltawaka.

KK can't do what Staal does, but you're severely underselling his abilities there. He's legitimately very good on the defensive side of the puck.

One of the best hockey games I ever watched had a final score of 0-0.
Sure, but that could mean your divisional rivals got a point out of it.

It wasn't a divisional game, actually. It was this one, in fact:

It seemed like the major question coming into the season was if KK could play 2c. it was like that was the only question mark and everything else no worries…

it’s only 1.5 games so far and there will be tons of ups and downs and dry spells and droughts…. But right now, that line with Svech and Necas looks like the real deal and KK is more than handling things…. They are our best line by far to this point…. If the rest of the team starts playing as well as that line we might have a good team and a chance to win a lot of games :)

again, there will be slumps…and it’s not even 2 games in the books yet… but so far the hand wringing about if KK could play 2c seems laughably wasted worrying for nothing…

Hey now, we gotta fill airtime somehow. If we can't spill as much ink arguing about whether a guy can handle 2C or really should be a 3C and the exact combination of 4th liners as other team's fans spill about where they're going to find the two top pairing defensemen they don't have, what's the point?
