Progression from when he was drafted ...phenomenal?
Really?
He had good stats in juniors..and many thought he was taken later than he should have gone ...Should have gone 2nd round ...Hexwas less "raw" as ax2 way dman than KK who is neitgerxax1way soecial talent nor a defensive rock you can trust.
If anything EdM should have been in the Show first and Kk learning in tyexAHL but thecquestion did not allow any otger option for Kk unless he went back to juniors to work on hos game.
Butctgeycarecgoibg to stock Edm with Megna or Zaitsev (not to say that Kk with Barfy is going to prevent many goals either.
