When Kirill Kaprizov came over as a 25 year old rookie, many didn't believe he would be able to produce like he did in the KHL, well, he went on to score 51 points in 55 games.

After that season he wanted to hit it big on his first long-term NHL contract for $9+ million, and people thought he was insane. Well, he got a 5 year deal with an AAV of $9 million and he went on to score 47 goals and 108 points in 81 games, making that deal look like an absolute bargain.

Listening to Foligno read it in his own Russia accent is funny though, here is what Jared Spurgeon had to say about the situation:
