It's just too bad you rather he go do it on Montreal instead.

What are you on about?
Tkachuk was 1st among forwards for even strength ice-time during the regular season.
During the playoffs, he has the most ice-time out of forwards per game and 2nd to Verhaege for even strength ice-time. Bennet, Tkachuk's center is 3rd.
Tkachuk's line is the 1st line in Florida. At the very least, you could say they have two 1st lines.
Compare that to Huberdeau in last year's playoffs who was 4th in even strength and 6th during the regular season. He would actually be 7th if you included Cole Schwindt, but he didn't play enough.
