Why do people continue to skew and round numbers when trying to argue for pessimism? At least use the real f'n numbers, man.
With Johnny and Lindy you don't think Nazem also pots over 100? If he plays 82 this past season he puts up roughly the same total as Tkachuk anyways. Was on pace for a little over 100 points. And was doing it with less cushy linemates that wouldn't bounce pucks in off his butt.
Age doesn't detract from what a player is currently. And Kadri is presently a great player and pest that plays a more important position than Tkachuk.
Does anybody really believe MT will continue elevating his game without a Gaudreau/Huberdeau caliber playmaker?
I think anybody that has watched him for the last 6 seasons has a strong inkling that the guy has a modest drop off in production coming.
