I agree. Very few Panarins come along and play so well immediately. We see glimpses of excellence from Teuvo and then are disappointed when he doesn't keep it up consistently. I just don't give up on young players like this because IF they figure things out you have yourself a stud for many years. He could fail to mature into a good player. One never knows but in terms of natural ability, he has it.
Panarin is 23. Teuvo is 21. There's a pretty big difference in those two years. Plus Panarin had been playing for several years in the KHL in Russia prior to arriving here, much longer than Teuvo had been playing in the Finnish elite league
