M. Tkachuk 19 yr old season (16/17) he had 10 evg (#191 fwd) in 76gm.
The kid shows expected top 6 potential.

Mgmt was telling the kid to leave.
Age 22 is Desjardins (Creator of age NHLe) performance measure yr for any prospect.
Better chance of Good Center options this yr.
Mcdavid, Drai, RNH, Turris.
Many say Turris was not suited for NSH style of play.
When it came to evg/gm and evp/gm
OTT .445 EVPPG/ NSH .346 = 28.6% better in OTT.
OTT .219 EVGPG/ NSH .099 = 121.2% better in OTT
Turris was a #3 fwd (top 93) in OTT.
That is 4 top 3 pick Centers to get even minutes with.
We do have strong evg depth at fwd.
Last 2 yr.
Drai #4 58 evg
Mcdavid #7 fwd 54evg
RNH #66 fwd 34 evg
Kassian #102 fwd 29 evg
Archibald #169 fwd 22 evg
Ennis #180 fwd 21 evg.
Jp 10 evg in 65 gm suggest top 140 evg production.
