Sure. Kotkaniemi needs some time to develop. Couturier was a top 10 pick and it took a little while.
As Higgins said, 2021.

He’s not the reason they’re losing.
This organization is broken.
Sad thing to say about your 3rd overall pick.
this is not a plan
keeping him on is stupid. They can lose without him.
he’s bound to make a stupid move soon if he’s not canned.
That’s why he got canned in Beantown. He’s learned his lesson. Our kids get plenty of ice, and for the most part the effort is there. No coach is gonna turn Tatar into Pastrnak — no offence to Tatar.
Yup. If anyone at the start of the season would have said that the habs would have had 28 points after 27 games, nobody would have been the least bit surprised.Exactly , our best forwards are support secondary pieces . When Dano has to masquerade as your top center , your doomed unless your back end has a McAvoy , Weber , Pietro and Hughes in the top 4
Very early still. I didn't mind the pick, but I questioned the decision to leave him in the NHL as 18 when he was seen as a project from the get go.
After not having a #1 center since Pierre Turgeon, I can't fault them for trying when they have a chance.
Despite that I still voted Hughes on our survey back then, but KK was in my top 3 at our position.
Regardless of KK, I mostly appreciated that they started stockpiling picks and using them. There is many intriguing prospects. Even if we go 50% on the best of them, we'd be in good shape.
Nobody said that. I just don't think he's where he should be right now.
Part of the bigger picture is that Jesperi Kotkaniemi is selling hope to the fanbase until he’s got enough milage for the jury to make the verdict on him.
And jerseys.
He’s selling lots of jerseys and apparel$.

Its the fact that they have taken the most frustrating route to get to 28 points after 27 games that has people calling for people to be fired.
But this team is what everyone thought it is, a middling team that had everyone hit career highs that would be unlikely to repeat the performance. Chiarot=Benn, Niemi=Kinkaid. I think people forget that was our offseason.

It's a process, I think the fact he's learning at the NHL level is a plus....he's practicing everyday with NHL caliber players and we know immediately what he needs to improve on.
Each player requires a different road map and I have no issues with the way he's getting handled in his development.

Mark Stone is a below average skater and continues to age like fine wine...He's an average skater. That's his biggest issue and I'm not sure he'll ever be able to overcome that to be an elite offensive player.

desire + hockey IQ + size can overcome lots of hurdles - KK has IQ, I think he has desire and size will come with time (strength wise)
