Tkachuk wearing 19 sits very well with me.
The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins don't even have a #19.

I mean, I guess they had Beau Bennett... but still, Beau Bennett.

Toews & Thornton too. I can get on board with this. Just figured he might be comfortable with #7 in some form or fashion.

I like 19 for Tkachuk.

It'll be weird seeing a 36 on the ice this year though. Petrovicky was the last full time flame to wear it?

News Update

Ryan Pike @RyanNPike
Per Treliving: have had discussions with Tkachuk's people re: contract. "May get done sooner rather than later."

Especially if Tim Hunter signs on as an assistant coach.

To be honest the only reason I posted this was because of Tkachuk's "RIP Harambe" shirt, hahaha.

Now it is time to dissect the picture to determine:
a) If he has grown
b) If he has an outline of a chew can in his pocket
c) What direction is his hat pointing (oh no hat)
d) Why is he wearing sunglasses?
e) Other

Haha, looks like Tkachuk made the front page of Reddit because of that t-shirt.
