And then you hear about him taking three hours out of his day to talk with Parekh about the NHL, what to expect, etc. I'm not usually one to gush over this stuff but I'm really blown away by the culture that's been built this year. The dark cloud days are long gone.

He's grown so much since leaving Florida. There he was meek and a secondary voice at best. Always deferred to guys like Ekblad or Barkov.

When he got here, someone must've got in his ear and said "this is your team" because he's acted that way ever since. Just a brilliant all-around player and person. Such a nice result from the Tkachuk deal.
