One-Timer:

"Kucherov is an electric, explosive and dynamic offensive force with elite level speed. He possesses an absolute rifle of a shot and has adroit offensive creativity.

His talent came to the forefront to even the casual of hockey fans after his brilliant and record-breaking performance at this year’s World Junior U18 Championships. He was an absolute domineering force, establishing a tournament record 21 points in seven games.

He also fared well at the recent scouting combine. While he is not a physical force, he does not shy away from the dirty areas and is not content with playing a perimeter game."
