I really do not understand the viotrol thrown at Tkachuk by so many. Like he is some kind of passenger on the team.

Never mind his intangibles and just using counting stats, since he entred the NHL as an 18 year old kid, he is the 6th leading point getter among LW's in the entire NHL, has drawn more penalties than any of them, is a complete 200' player who has gotten better each season in that department, and has bled Flames red since day 1. He battles in the hardest area of the ice every night and takes crap from no one.

Team had a bad season last year and he was a big part of that. He is also a big part of the resurgence this season.

If I was him and reading this stuff, I would want the hell out of town as well.

There is no one even close in the Flames system that would be able to replace him either.

Again, just do not get the nonsense about him.
