Tkachuk is the guy, I believe, that BT builds around along with Lindholm up front. Knowing how BT likes his players to have some grease in their games, along with his size and offensive abilities (that are literally elite for the position) and there are 11 other guys you move before MT.

It’s funny how Tkachuk can seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of some people
His shots per game went from over 5 to about half that for the next few weeks. He was visibly disengaged and it looked like he quit on his team
Yet still, he has the reputation of dragging his team in to the battle
And again, he talks a good game and it is almost comical the inverse correlation between his pre game proclamations and on ice performance
I’m with the poster that said it’s on the organization to figure out what happened, and how to not make it happen again
Because last year was sure not worth 7, much less 9. It’s an insult to the fans and the organization when the highest paid player checks out because of something that happened in the corner when the game was over and most of the team was headed to the locker room and didn’t see it
Having a player who is capable of positively influencing a game is great, having a player who talks big and comes up flat, or a guy who can quit on his team is a valid concern
