TKO to the rescue? I don't know. Kucherov is so, so, so cold right now that I'm not sure the timing is right for that, BUT separating Kucherov and Stamkos was a must, and I think TKO is still the best option we have.
If Kucherov returns to his old self, TKO can still be one of the better lines in the league, if not the best. We've only seen brief glimpses of TKO with the Elite Level Kucherov (2017) and it was deadly with both Johnson and Point.
The beauty of the line is it leaves so many scorers to play elsewhere, and creates a Pick Your Poison scenario for defenses.
