I have tickets to the Jan 17th Hitmen/Royals game so I won't have a recap right away, but I'm definitely going with the intent to check out Kanzig and Carroll.
Looking at his stats, yes there has been a HUGE production increase.
Last season he played 70 games with 34G, 23A and 57PTS. The previous season he played 67 games with 15G, 27A and 42PTS.
This year, he's at 25 games with 17G, 15A and 32PTS.
Barring any injury or whatever else, he's on pace to have 49G, 43A and 92PTS if he plays all 72 games. That beats his previous seasons total by 50PTS.
He's at a 1.28PPG so far this season and previous seasons he was 0.81PPG and 0.63PPG
1/3 of the way into the season, it seems like his production has taken a huge jump. I don't think it's an area to have too much concern.
