Quick Strikes: Rumor has it that Nikita Kucherov is good and that Slater Koekkoek might (finally?) get traded

Nikita Kucherov is good, this we know. But how does his current season - which is on track to break several more Tampa Bay Lightning franchise records - compare to those of players who still currently hold those records? Yesterday, Geo took a look at the seasons Vincent Lecavalier hit 108 points, Brad Richards nabbed 68 assists, and Martin St. Louis reached 68 assists.

What I want to do here is look at those three seasons and compare those players’ first 43 games to what Kucherov has done through his first 43 games.
