Even if you put aside the massive difference in quality of teams (which is how you get playoff trophies), just looking at linemates:

One guy's played most of his entire career with Stamkos and Point.
The other guy's played most of his entire career with Backlund and Frolik.

Matthew Tkachuk has scored 100+ points in every single season that he hasn't been primarily deployed in a shutdown role with Michael Backlund. Think about that for a second.
Again I said Tkachuk is a great player, he is just not Kucherov great YET.
Kucherov has not slowed down yet. If Tkachuk continues like last year, maybe he will pass Kucherov but not today for me

Btw, people are talking like Tkachuk was great with guys like Backlund and Frolik. He was good not great. He became great with Gaudreau and Barkov.
