Matthew Tkachuk put every question about his skill level to bed in 2021-22, blasting out of the gates this season on his way to achieving 100 points and 40 goals.
2020-21 was a rough season for Tkachuk, not as much ice time at points combined with a points-per-game that took a step back from the direction it had been headed the previous 4 seasons.
This off-season sees Tkachuk at a critical crossroads with the Calgary Flames – he’s owed a $9 million qualifying offer. Should he accept that he can walk himself to unrestricted free agency in the 2023 off-season – but he may be better served to try and cash in now.
