32 points in 19 games and 22 points in 13 games since being traded to Rouyn-Noranda. Not too shabby. He's a fun player to watch for sure as he sees the ice extremely well. He will fit in nicely eventually in Tampa Bay with all of the Russian prospects Stevie Y has acquired.

Playing style and upside? I would say Jiri Hudler is a decent comparable with respect to his hands/vision but Kucherov is a MUCH better/different style of skater.

Upside: 80 points but I would say he will average around 55-60 depending on his linemates
