Here's why Nikita Kucherov is the most special player in the NHL
We have Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Leon Draisaitl, but we also have Nikita Kucherov, who is certainly one of the top three players in the National Hockey League.
Quite frankly, to me, Kucherov is the best player in the NHL. His intelligence has NO equal, and then, unlike Connor McDavid, he makes his teammates better. Add to that that when it matters, he knows how to lift his game a notch, he who was VERY dominant during the two conquests of the Lightning.
That said, yesterday the Lightning beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-1, and then "Kuch" took a hat trick in his third return game. Since his return, he has five points, but that does not mean that he remains satisfied with his game.
«I didn't play for that long. Now I'm back and playing games. Everything is difficult and I need time to readjust myself!» - Kucherov
Just imagine what it will look like when number 86 is at the top of his potential. I prefer not to think about it!
