Expectations for Matthew Tkachuk?

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Given the incredible playoffs he had until Kolesar's big ass body fractured Tkachuk's sternum, what are the expectations of him heading into next season?

He likely won't be in the Art Ross convo but could he get traction for the Hart and Lindsay if he has another 100+ point season in Florida?

I don't see why he can't duplicate last season, especially if OEL carries over his solid preseason play into the regular season. It looks like he could inflate a lot of forwards' point totals.

 

[deleted user]

Yeah, he's going to hit 100 or more. He's that good.

 

[dirtydanglez]

he's gonna dominate the east.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I expect:

A) Someone lobs a puck at him and he throws a tantrum.

B) He chews his mouth guard.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

He will always be expected to be at that 100 point mark. Could be a bit more, could be a bit less each year

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Cant see him performing better than last year, it’s all downhill from here

 

[Go Wings]

At this point in his career Matthew Tkachuk is the best winger in the league. I expect at least 40 goals and 100 points.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Last season was his career season and he is going to regress along with the rest of the Panthers to their normal abilities.

 

[FinlandPanther]

To be dominant again.

 

[KingsHockey24]

90 points/150 PIMS

Truly rent free. Gonna be fun to watch him piss you off again . The best American forward in the world.

Much stronger chance the Panthers finish in the bottom 10 of the league than last season repeating.

You better hope. I heard the Panthers would love seconds to slap your soft team around again in the playoffs.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Cements himself as a top 5 forward in the NHL and the top winger. The guy is clutch and plays with so much heart. Florida has a beauty!

Playoffs? OOookkkk. Whatever you say.

What happened last year? Oh right you got eliminated in 5. Seethe. It must be exhausting having to live in your delusion where the leafs aren’t soft losers.

Ouch! Still hurting from last years playoffs eh? Lol.

 

[MavisGoldberg]

He'll have obviously a much worse year than last 2 years. No 100+ points this year.
Also, I think Florida's in big trouble. Likely no playoffs. Bob will have his typical 900-905 for them and not .940% like he did from end of Boston series to start of finals.

Yes, a little regression is possible....

it may take 6 games for FL to eliminate the Leafs this season.

 

[jigglysquishy]

Over 100 points. Wouldn't be surprised if he hits 110 and is a Hart contender.

Will Florida even make the playoffs?

Yes

85-90 points.

expectations



Yes

We'll see. They are a bubble team. Leafs should have the Atlantic. Also, you can't expect .940 from Bob every series.
