Absolutely agree.
Tkachuk was the team's point leader this season. He can't be an offensive no-show, or just an agitator for this team.
You can see the effort, and the physicality, which is fine, but I don't think I recall #19 getting any kind of offensive time with the puck or scoring chance 5 on 5 (or the PP for thet matter). This year, he officially made it a debate about who the best forward on this team is. Now's the time for him to solidify himself as the guy, but he hasn't shown that in the first 2 games of the series.
