Kaprizov leads the league in scoring

[Zalos]

I regret picking Matthews over him in my pool so far. I had a sneaking suspicion he'd have a crazy year, but how can you bet against a 69-goal scorer?!

 

[McFlash97]

Didn't that just happen last year though. He played 76. McDavid is incredible but he's not Gretzky or Lemieux where no one else has a chance.

Kucherov and Mackinnon are different beasts though.

 

[SensontheRush]

Looking like this could be an awards-winning year for Kaprizov if McDavid is out a consequential amount of time.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Kucherov and Mackinnon are different beasts though.

And both are having great seasons offensively at the moment. Which will make it near impossible to catch.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Like 5 different players have led scoring so far, as it’s really early lol


He’s really great though, I remember he had more even strength points than McDavid a few years back, could have gone off if his team could put together a powerplay


Stone was also interesting leading the other day, Makar as well

Malkin was leading the league in scoring at one point. And there was a thread about it.

 

[ThatGuy22]

2 goals, 1 assist in a 5-3 win over TB. Regains the lead as the sole owner at 21 points in 10 games.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Another Wild record for Kirill, this time for the most consecutive multipoint games.

Sure wish my sweet wild torching villages thread wouldn’t have got locked

Still early, but wouldn’t be shocked if he’s in the Hart conversation at the end of the year. He looks like he has another gear out there, has owned the Lightning twice now.

I think if you’d ask most wild fans they would tell you he still doesn’t look like he’s in mid season form. When he’s healthy and hits his full form he’s dominant and it hasn’t looked that way yet. There’s another gear

You can say here that Kaprizov has already burned down all Florida villages...

 

[Nsjohnson]

He's actually been somewhat snakebitten. He's racking up helpers and getting some goals along the way.

Yes but is he housekeeping???

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

He's going to get $15 million a year.

He's going to get $15 million a year.

He’s going to break the market this summer

I disagree, somewhat. The skating is there unlike last year after Stanley tried to get a piggyback ride end of previous season.

He looks to me in mid season form, just not shooting as much. I wonder if last season he had a F it, I just need to do it myself to try get the wild back in it.

But he's using his teammates this year, and looks great.

Still holding up hope for 14.5

League max will be ~$18.5M per year.

Kaprizov vs Makar for the Art Ross!

He missed 2 open top nets by skying it above the net, and still had 2 goals

I’m not seeing the classic zone cycle and dominant puck possession like we’ve seen. Maybe that is a function of using his teammates more but he doesn’t look likes he’s moving as quickly or as confidently in the ozone as we’ve seen from him yet. Also missing that full stride 10-2 shiftyness that we’ve grown to love.

Maybe, I think it's a function of teammates. He's never had a C that can distribute somewhat like him. The rasks, hartmans and JEE just tried to get to the net and shoot. JEE also never gave up D responsibilities. Rossi has offensive instincts actually. Seen a lot of pretty tic tack goals

Well if that’s the case it’s cool and I like it because we have a 125pt elite player currently and maybe more than that
