Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk: Episode 5 - Management Strikes Back

[topshelf15]

That's the funniest part. It's not like Brady is pissing people off with dirty hits or anything. Most "pests" are pests because they injure people with dirty plays. Brady has never done anything like that.

Him jumping Laughton was the first and only time I've ever seen him do anything close to dirty.

Yep and that punk deserved it....People from opposing teams seem to think BT is some sort of small puke doing these things,they often fail to realise just how big he is and is going to get...Bad news for the East

He isn't big. He is skinny and lacks strength. Especially, lower body strength. That's why he is week on his skates and is falling everywhere on the ice.

There is no bad news for anyone, except the Senators. He is never going to intimidate anyone with his physical play.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Wait I though Brady ran away from Weber according to Hab fans...Lol

I think the funny thing is that Tkachuk is only 20 years old. He is listed at 212 lbs now and in a few years he will likely be 225 to 240 lbs. I don't know how heavy he will actually get but the point is that he hasn't even fully developed his man strength yet. Weber is 6'4 230 lbs and 34 years old and Tkachuk doesn't even hesitate to rough it up with him and try to give as much as he gets. When Tkachuk physically matures he is actually going to scare other players around the league. He will be an imposing figure and others will just back down and let him get away with whatever he is doing. He is just elite at causing havoc and pissing people off.

What in the mother of f*** are you talking about? He is 6'4 and a lean 212lbs at the ripe age of 20. He is going to be an absolute beast physically when he is done filling out.

Hes 6'4, 212 pounds and hes 20 years old.

Hes a big dude. And hes just going to get heavier.

You're off your rocker on this one

Your hate for Tkachuk almost rivals my hatred for Ceci

Sorry bud you are out to lunch on this one

 

[Clayonator]

Wait till he’s 25. Will look like Jamie Benn f***ed Ryan Kesler and had a baby. Or you could just look at his real dad I guess...

Well looking through your old posts you were also wrong about Matthew Tkachuk.

Matthew Tkachuk can skate and shoot better than Brady. Other skill-sets are pretty similar. With that said, he is not PPG player, his stats are inflated by his line-mates

Just like that Brady's stats are inflated by playing significant minutes with Mark Stone for the entire year. I won't put any stock on his "more points that Matthew's rookie season".

Both seem like a 60-point players at best (only if they are playing with skilled line-mates). Neither will carry a line, if they are the best player on their line.Player Discussion - Brady Tkachuk: Episode 4 - A new hope

Matthew Tkachuk had 77 points last season and has 27 points in 33 games played this season. As for Stone inflating Tkachuk's stats let's look at the facts:

Brady Tkachuk's Stats 2018 -2019 (with Stone):
48 GP 13 G 17 A 30 PTS

• 0.625 PTS/GP
• 0.271 G/GP
• 0.354 A/GP

Brady Tkachuk's Stats 2018 - 2019 (without Stone):
23 GP 9 G 6 A 15 PTS

• 0.652 PTS/GP
• 0.391 G/GP
• 0.217 A/GP

Brady Tkachuk's Stats 2019-2020:
32 GP 11 G 8 A 19 PTS

• 0.594 PTS/GP
• 0.344 G/GP
• 0.25 A/GP

Sure Stone had an impact on Tkachuk's production but the facts don't support a claim of his Stats being inflated. The variation is too small to make such a claim.

It is pretty evident that you are biased against Tkachuk and that you aren't really taking facts into consideration with your assessment of him. You also seem unwilling or unable to recognize your faults in your previous assessments of him and to use those faults to adjust and make a more accurate assessment. Even an absolute claim that Tkachuk will "never intimidate anyone with his physical play" sounds illogical and irrational. Your claim that "he isn't big" also seems odd because he is 20 years old and listed at 6'4 212 lbs. Either your definition of "big" is wildly different than the norm or you are being delusional.

Yeah keep dreaming. He is just tall with a skinny-fat body. That's about it. Oh, and pretty weak, too

Yep! Pretty weak stats for a 4th overall franchise player even playing with Stone. Only helps prove my point even more.

However, I have to applaud the management and some fan overselling him just to justify a very high pick

What a strange series of posts.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

I am calling a TV timeout.

Let’s end the rhetoric here. Attack the post and not the poster.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

 

[supsens]

Lol well I guess you should go throw him around and show him what’s what next time you see him walking down the street.
He will probably settle in around 225(at least) in about 4 years time. He is a big dude
He looks skinny because he has spent his entire life growing taller, now that that’s done his hand eye, balance,weight and strength will all increase.
What an absolute pain in the ass this guy is going to be to play against.If your playing D 3 years from now it’s going to be a long night and you would rather play against anyone else.

Have you seen the average hockey player? They’re all skinny. These aren’t NFL players. 90% look like your average university kid.

Compared to most, he is already big, and will still fill out.

One could make the argument Jon Bones Jones looks “skinny” too.

Core and leg strength matter a whole lot more to nhl players than upper body strength.

I'm curious how thick his legs are.

I remember seeing alfie in shorts once in the late 90s. Guys thighs were like tree trunks

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

He does have a frame that is capable of putting on a good 20 pounds more of muscle. It won't happen overnight, but he'll get there.

That will take care of the bambi style falling over and weakness pretty easily. I don't expect him to become Jamie Benn thick, but he will be a force. Plus, a lot of it is also attitude...Benn is a big boy, but no one in the league is afraid of that guy. Brady is the kid of player who loves the chippy physical style and will jump in right away and stir the pot with gusto.

Yes, it would've been nice to snag a 1D or 70-point player...but we'll get one of those (at least) in 2020.

 

[Sweatred]

First player in league with 100+ hits and 100+ shots...

Give it up fellas....its a click bait troll job...leave it be and it'll go away

Yeahhhh OK. I think he has you intimidated.

 

[DueDiligence]

I bet if you take a poll of all the Sens players BT will be one of the most popular guys on the team. They know what he brings......... and they know how rare it is.
