If you were to extrapolate his point totals with the same number of minutes they played, then suddenly his point totals are pretty comparable. It's not a perfect science, but let's face it, if Tkachuk played more, he'd produce more. That's a fact.
Can't wait till Tkachuk fiils out and improves his foot speed. He's gonna be one of the toughest players to handle in front of the net and a beast down low. Might become one of the best power forwards of his generation.

Since December 19th he's got 32 pts in 38 games. That's really when he started feeling really comfortable imo, or his 3 Pt game vs the Jets 3 games prior. He also never plays 3 on 3 and gets hemmed in with defensive zone starts while playing only 14 minutes a night. He's amazing and I don't really care if the eastern media doesn't put his name with the other guys. He is very special and we are lucky to have him!
