Kucherov has recently joined the career 100 point pace club

[olli]

The last few months Kucherov has joined Crosby and McDavid as the only active members of the career 100 point pace club. For Kucherov this is especially impressive given the slow start to his career that featured a rookie season with only 18 points in 52 games followed by 65 and 66 point seasons before he really got the ball rolling. MacKinnon and Draisaitl aren’t far off from joining this club too and had similarly slow starts to their careers relative to where they’ve been the last 6+ seasons. It’s very rare to see players maintain a 100 point career pace over 700+ games but are there are other players that have done it with such slow starts to their careers?

He'd like to thank God, his family, his coaches and teammates, and empty nets everywhere

Oh yeah without those empty nets he’d be at a career 98 point pace

He has an argument for top 3 Russian player of all time.

Just an insanely elite offensive talent.

Pathetic

Unparalleled vision on the ice, coupled with a hockey IQ that seems to border on precognition, is what sets him apart.

Kucherov is the ultimate big game player

Your favorite person's favorite player.

He probably has the highest Hockey IQ since Crosby along with being arguably the best passer in league. I’m glad guys like him exist to show that you can keep up with McDavid & MacKinnon without using speed.
