We seem to downplay our guys and often for good reasons. (not to low, not to high) where as Florida called Tkachuk a generatonal player.
Right away that allowed him to fit in and feel confident and then he has a coach who believes in him. It will be interesting to see how he responds come playoff time. If he keeps it up and does well we may have to look at our approach to building up our players. Maybe he doesn’t show, but I have a feeling if he gets in, he may be a hunger version of the Tkachuk we saw. This is not to say Sutter doesn’t support or build up our players but building Huberdeau up and giving him some of Lucics touches might have got him going sooner.
