I think people are missing that Tkachuk changed his game this year. He's always been a solid 200 foot guy, but this year he committed to staying out of the box and focusing on shutting guys down. Still the same possession monster, just laser focused on doing whatever the team needed him to do to win the cup.
Lets not forget how much of an impact Chucky has had on the team itself too. Other ways to impact a win than just putting up points.
