Sure, maybe he scores 30 goals and maybe gets 30 assists. Fantastic. What if you are leaving another 10-15 goals and another 30 assists on the table because he has more to his game than Backlund can tap into? Play him with a guy that can meet Tkachuk's offensive level and reap the rewards.
So… he isn't a 60-point player because it hasn't happened yet, but he is a 90-point player because it hasn't happened yet?

Make up your mind. Count the what-ifs or leave them out, but don't count yours and ignore everyone else's.
