I don't think it's likely the season totals are eye popping in any way. But I do think that if this line stays healthy and together, a big second half is in the cards. I could see Kakko ending the season with 30-35 points but enough of those down the stretch that were feeling really good about him heading into the playoffs.
I dont get this take. If the line stays healthy, I think the line gets 85+ points out of chytil and kakko.
The "kid line" in gallant's last year, was 120 points. Laf had 39, kakko had 40, and chytil had 45.
Now replacing Cuylle for Laf is a downgrade, but Kakko and Chytil are very good together.
Additionally, Lavi is giving this line lots of ice time, that Gallant never did.
Gallant kept them at 10ish minutes of even strength time at most.
They were 13+ in game 1. The better they play, and they tend to play the most how Lavi wants. The more ice time they're going to get.
