More evidence that advanced stats are bull####. Anyone who can watch games right now and NOT identify Tkachuk as the passenger on the first line is blind. Yes, Tkachuk is contributing, but remove him from the line and replace him with another RW on the roster, and the outcomes don't change much. Tkachuk is the worst player on that line, and is not keeping up with his linemates. Put Blake Coleman in that same slot, same outcomes.

I don’t agree with your premise, but yeah, in a lot of games Tkachuk was clearly the odd man out as far as contribution. IMO he’s picked it up from the first 5 games or so though.

Lol. Your bias is showing.

Personally I'd enjoy the conversation a lot more if you just had reasons why you disagreed with something and avoided the descending from Mount Olympus schtick that you walk out once a week.

While I agree sometimes the jfresh cards don't really mean much and are relied on too heavily, how does the Tkachuk card show anything but what you're saying? It's not like it is showing he is elite. It literally calls him a 2nd liner right on the card.

No. That's what his ice time is saying. Everything else is saying he's an elite first line winger.
