He's in mid season form, and has been since the start of the season. Zuccarello continues to be effective and have great chemistry with him, and Rossi is playing the best he has ever played, allowing MN to play JEE with Boldy to give the Wild two dangerous lines.
There’s another gear. He is not where he was to end last year to my eye. He is not scoring those goals where he wheels out to the top of the dot from behind the net at full speed and fires a laser wrister top corner.
End of last year he was playing with Boldy and JEE and they dominated everyone at both ends of the ice. But it was a one line team, with crap goaltending.
I get that , Kaps goals this year have been from the dirty areas with help. That’s great. I’m just missing those ozone domination shifts where he ends up firing a laser or beats multiple people with the puck on his stick and I think we are going to see some of that as we get further into the year
Really? Should be interesting how it unfolds. He likely will want the panarin contract at the same cap% when it was signed
