Kirill Kaprizov: All aboard the Hype train?

Kirill Kaprizov is a beast. No question about that! He has the second best U19 and U20 seasons in KHL history, behind only Yevgeni Kuznetsov and still a good chance of beating Kuznetsov’s U20 season. He is currently the only U20 player in the KHL with more than 13 points as he has 34. Kaprizov lead the World Juniors in goals and tied for first in points without having linemates of similar skill level to Alex Nylander’s. His 9 goals are a rare total with only 12 players ever reaching a higher total and only three times since 1990 has that happened.
