KK: 51.63 CF%, 47.69 SF%, 45.95 GF%, 47.92 xGF%, 50.51 SCF%, 48.59 HDCF%, 52.38 HDGF%, 60.23% Offensive Zone starts
AM: 53 CF%, 52.26 SF%, 52.94 GF%, 53.4 xGF%, 55.22 SCF%, 55.21 HDCF%, 46.01% Offensive Zone starts
KK produced 26 of his 36 points in the first half of the season where his most consistent linemates were Marner and Tavares or Nylander and Matthews. When he got shifted to play in the bottom 6, his production dropped significantly.
KK scream leech to me, while AM looks like a play driving piece moving forward. KK's "track record" is really just built on the fact that he got to the league one year quicker than Mang.
