I thought he had a productive WJC but I didn't watch him every shift and that his high production could be from playing with some great players. From watching him play shift by shift during Londons playoff run you could see why he was rated so highly and why he's been so good in the NHL. I'm still not gonna fault people who thought he was a product of his linemates because it was a legitimate worry. Don't really get why you attacked my post but some people like arguing for the sake of arguing. This is all 20/20 hindsight and sometimes people's opinions get proven incorrect, it's still unfair to get mad at someone for giving their opinion. I'm sure most people here have said something about a player which would be proven wrong, it's pretty pointless to go back and see what people were saying and then use it to shame them. Everything is in hindsight and making fun of people who thought something different before he played in the NHL is not fair. He's proved people wrong and we are all happy he is thriving. No need to embarrass

Well I agree people need to watch prospects play shift by shift before making a legitamate claim about them, sometimes people just are wrong even after doing so. Bringing in posts before the draft was a low blow as everyone gets prospects wrong and it's unfair to shame people who are probably quite happy with how Tkachuk is looking. That was my issue with it. We are all on the same team here, sometimes people get it wrong. I thought Bennett was gonna have a 50pt season and stated that here multiple times in the preseason. We all get stuff wrong.
