That Matt Tkachuk kid truly is something special.
Viewed as a consolation prize in the loaded 2016 draft, we had questions about whether Tkachuk would get past 10 games.
Now we only have questions about how high his ceiling is. He’s been much better than expected. Tkachuk is the final piece on the 3M line, one of hockey’s most dominant three-man units this year. He’s a kid who plays like a man, quietly becoming one of the NHL’s best puck possession players (10th in the entire dang league for players with over 500 5v5 minutes!), putting in great shift after great shift, and just generally being a treat to watch.
