Kaprizov leads the league in scoring

[AKL]

I don't watch much of the Wild but is Kap the main reason they're doing so well?

Yes, reason 1A.

Reason 1B is Gustavsson.

I'd have those flipped, personally. If Gus wasn't doing what Gus is doing, what Kaprizov is doing wouldn't matter. If Kaprizov wasn't doing what Kaprizov is doing, we'd still be a playoff team.

isn't Kap factoring in on 49% of Wild goals? I don't know how solid that assertion is.

It's possible, not sure. Safe to say if we were missing both we'd be a bottom 10 team. I just think Gus' season has a bit more to do with the team being first in the league than Kaprizov's season.

Looks like he might be eyeing a Rocket as well

 

[Brookbank]

He is the same age as Mackinnon was in his first breakout year.

 

[Brookbank]

Arguing whether he's better or worse than other top players is pointless. He's among them.

Guy put up 47+61=108 with Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman.

Pointing out how good any player is who isn't named Mackinnon or McDavid is taken as a challenge to said players fans.

Id put Kaprizoff over Matthews. Kaprizoff drives play. Matthews waits for Marner to drive play and put it on a silver platter for him.

Personally, the only winger I’d take over Kaprizov right now is still Kucherov

Just tied Ol Leon in the Ross race with his 2nd goal of the night
