He's a bonafide top 6er at 20 and as Francis mentioned is edging on star status really quickly with the production, down low play, grit and ability to draw penalties (you can add in his reputation as well). His trajectory is pretty exciting to consider.

The kids I don't care about, but so far tonight every adult I've seen in a Knights jersey looks like a frat bro who isn't a hardcore fan. It just reeks of trying to be hip and looking for attention.

I mean he’s at 17 and he’s been heating up. If he gets on a real tear he could get close to 30.

Meh, it's a brand new team with a great jersey.

Weren't there a bunch of sharks jerseys out there early after the sj expansion?

Anyways, it sucks that they are in the Pacific and having such a great year.

Tkachuk not wearing the A is a travesty.

I am certain you are more worried about it than he is...just let the kid play (not to mention he has done some pretty stupid stuff this season)

eventually he will wear a letter

He deserves it, that other guy wearing it does not.

So?

It's almost as lame as being a fan of a team in general.

And it's not the only reason.

The Flames need to keep the pedal down. No sitting back and flipping pucks out. Vegas will shred them if they try to protect this lead.

I think we're overrating on-ice performance here.

Brouwer's 32, he's seen a lot of stuff in this league, has won a Stanley Cup, and from all indications, he seems to be a great guy. Tkachuk has a lot to prove still in this league and is still just a kid playing in his second season.

Brouwer has also significantly improved recently, and while he may be overpaid, he's still an effective bottom-nine forward.

17 (current goals) divided by 48 (current games played) times 80 (max number of games he can play this season).

About a 28 goal pace right now.
