Could be the Chuck Norris White Ninja line

Could be the Chuck Norris White Ninja line

The front of the net will be filled with all sorts of windmill kicks,and clandestine assassinations in the corners...I like it!!

 

[coladin]

He was great last night

 

[solidprospect]

I love his aggressiveness and resiliency, Crawford mentioned staying on his feet as a problem and that the Sedins used to fall down quite often in their rookie years.

Really nice player, in 3 years he'll only be 22 Just add some man strength,muscle and beer weight.

It is interesting to look at his performance both pre and post trade deadline.

Pre Trade Deadline:

• 51 games played
• 31 points
• 14 goals
• Producing at 0.6078 points per game (projection over 82 games = 49.84)
• Producing at 0.2745 goals per game (projection over 82 games = 22.51)

Post Trade Deadline:

• 13 games played
• 8 points
• 5 goals
• Producing at 0.6154 points per game (projection over 82 games = 50.46)
• Producing at 0.3846 goals per game (projection over 82 games = 31.54)

That is phenomenal, post deadline. A lot of people thought he'd drop off a cliff after the Stone trade but he's gone and upped his production.

As someone who's been very critical of the decision to draft him, I can't be disappointed with his performance. He looked to be hitting a wall a while back but he's pushing through and affirming his status as a member of the core here going forward.

I'm still very disappointed to not have our pick this year but Brady is a gem and he's gonna do great things here.

Yeah, It is good news to see him performing well. It might also be interesting to look at Matthew Tkachuk's performance to see how it compares.

Man. Not much difference. Definitely feels like he’s taking over shifts more often now though

 

[krapsik]

What if actually Stone benefited from pairing with Tkachuk, not otherwise ?

 

[Adrianopolous]

Saw him in the flesh yesterday. I'm very happy with what the first year Tkachuk brings. Once he works on his falling down, I think he could be better than Matthew.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Chucky has a new love now

Kudos to you, sir.

 

[InTkachukWeTrust]

I have every bit of trust in Tkachuk to bring us to the promise land

 

[Boud]

......

Especially last season...

The fact that Brady has a better goal scoring pace after Stone was traded shows you all you gotta know about Mark Stone and how selfish he was, like Karlsson, scoring all the goals himself.

It was a great decision to trade him!

 

[coladin]

Tkachuk might get some Calder love with a strong finish

This actually is interesting. I thought he would struggle without Stone on his line.

It might just be a coincidence, but it's nice to see a guy who is pegged as a possible future captain show he can step up in the face of adversity and lead by example on the ice.

It'd be nice to see him as a finalist. There's a really strong crop of rookies. Tkachuk probably had the 2nd best rookie season out of forwards.

Pettersson and Dahlin should be locks. Heiskanen probably should be too, but he might not get that kind of consideration because of Dahlin.

Jordan Binnington should be up there, he helped turn St.Louis' season around. Similar to Heiskanen, I think Carter Hart or Binnington will suffer because they booth have similar claims.

PPG among Rookies who played at least 20 games (out of 93 rookies) :

- 2nd : Brady Tkachuk 0.61
- 4th : Colin White 0.56
- 11th : Drake Batherson 0.45
- 13th : Christian Wolanin 0.42 (2nd among D-men)
- 23rd : Rudolfs Balcers 0.37
- 45th : Maxime Lajoie 0.27 (9th among D-men)
- 68th : Christian Jaros 0.17 (18th among D-men)

 

[Agent Zub]

Can’t wait for Chuk-Norris line

(Throw a little abramov on the end there)

I want to see him with Brown. Brady gets in so much shit on the ice its gonna force Brown to be engaged lol.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Tkachuks U19 season last year (8g 31p) would be 2nd best amongst U19 players in the NCAA this year.... Farabee has 17g 36p in 37 games. He went 14th overall in 2018, seems like Philly got a good one.

I also find it pretty funny that Wahlstrom, who many people said they wanted more than Tkachuk, had just 8g (only 8?!?!??!!) and 19p in 36 games. Apparently he is not going back to NCAA next yr. He barely outscored our 4th rounder from last year, Johnathan Gruden. Cape Breton owns Wahlstroms CHL rights.... more likely he goes to Bridgeport but Cape Breton is a very strong team

 

[Six Assets]

Wahlstrom, who many people said they wanted more than Tkachuk

i believe this statement is false, unless many refers to a couple of people...

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

lots of people on the main prospects board... for sure at least a couple here.
