You think Kaprizov is a top 10-15 goal scorer? Even though he's 4th in goals the last three years? Okay.Yeah he is one of the best snipers in the league. But one of the top ~10 to 15 best or so.
Kaprizov is one of the best in the game for sure. Watching him in Canucks games, he’s an unreal talent. Doesn’t get enough flowers around the league like he should.As a Wild fan, I am thrilled he is in the discussion. 5th round pick, took years to come over from Russia and somehow has managed to out perform the hype despite the roster that the Wild have put around him. Many posters will take the time to stop by and drop their "obviously not" comments in here but the fact he is in the conversation is a minor miracle. For every Kaprizov there are a couple dozen Russian players who are barely ever heard from again.
Says who? You? He is NOT the best winger in the NHL.He’s got a good case. He’s the best winger in the NHL.

He’s not a sniper, he’s an all around offensive beast
Rantanen 102g in 182gp, I dont know how your math is, but both Rantanen and Ovqchkin have better g/gp than Kaprizov?
You also convienantly forgot Pasta - 101g in 176gp
Ya he scored a beautiful backend against the Avs just recently. Exemplify his abilities.He's certainly in the conversation. ESPN surveyed 10 players, and 10 front office types just this week. Kaprizov finished 3rd behind Pasta and Kucherov.
He certainly doesn't have the offensive support those two have, especially down the middle.
Ya, i've never considered him a Sniper. He's got a good shot. He's just ridiculously creative and just knows how to get the puck in the net from almost literally any place on the ice.
He is next to #97 and you and I both know that.
It’s still Kucherov or Kane when he’s hot
You stated he was the best winger in the NHL and he is clearly not. So they surveyed 10 players? A whole 10 players?He's certainly in the conversation. ESPN surveyed 10 players, and 10 front office types just this week. Kaprizov finished 3rd behind Pasta and Kucherov.

In a new survey of 10 Minnesota wild players, it’s concluded that KK97 is the best player in the NHL.You stated he was the best winger in the NHL and he is clearly not. So they surveyed 10 players? A whole 10 players?
I didn't say that. Another poster did. I said he was in the conversation, and he is.You stated he was the best winger in the NHL and he is clearly not. So they surveyed 10 players? A whole 10 players?
