He seemed to always put up his points when the games were easy and high scoring.
To me he is a great side piece, and these days those are going for about 8 million per.
I still can't believe his value was Huberdeau +++. To me this will go down as the best trade in franchise history, especially considering cap considerations.

I mentioned this in another thread but Tkachuk went on an absolute heater to finish the season, with 38 points in his final 20 games. That's a run that he's never matched at any other point in his career. Before that, he had 66 points in 62 games, still great, but that final 20 games really pushed him from being slightly above a PPG to the 100 point player that Bill Zito thinks he is getting. Definitely an outlier.
