How has he looked in terms of the eye test in the regular season games so far this year?
He's the second best player on planet earth. Maybe not the second most skilled, but the second most effective. I still believe we won't see as many points from him thus year simply because we won't be so dependant on offense to get into the playoffs. Even so, honestly I think he's underrated in a historical sense. I grew up watching the dominant Red Wings, and Kucherov is the best forward I've ever followed game by game. Better than any Lightning or Red Wings forward I saw. The only player I'd put above him is Lidstrom, of the guys I followed game by game.
