Armed with excellent hockey sense and very good passing skills, he can play solidly in all three zones. Skates well and is also somewhat elusive. Doesn't own ideal size for the National Hockey League, so he must continue to add more bulk to his 6-1 frame in order to maximize output.
Long Range Potential: Solid two-way forward with a little upside.

Has incredible hockey sense, vision and patience with the puck. Can set up linemates with aplomb, as well as score goals himself. Displays a two-way game. Makes his teammates around him better. Doesn't have ideal size for the highest level, so he could stand to add more bulk and strength in order to withstand the constant pounding of the NHL game year in and year out (injuries are a problem).
Long Range Potential: Talented, playmaking center with some upside.

You can certainly see a lot of similarities. However, RNH is clearly the better player.

Vegas weakened its center depth with the loss of Stasny, they would not move Karlsson cause than there center core would be 3rd and 4th liners.

Do you think that RNH has the capability of scoring 40? Assuming Kahun plays well and slots LW with Drai, RNH could play with McD all season. Or do you think he has more of a pass first mentality
