Matthew Tkachuk is the 2nd slowest forward in the league

Tkachuk did win the thread of the 2016 prospect most likely to bust.

linemates carrying him (Marner and Dvorak) and skating being the primary driver of the concerns of why he would bust

i didnt know anything about him, (was a keller guy through and through)

wild how important he is to the league and his team and just produces
 
I notice this whenever I watch him play, his speed specifically is weak. Skating in general, mediocre. It gets the job done similar to O'Reilly. Obv doesn't need it with his overall effectiveness
 
perry was already slow when he broke into the league

tkachuk managing to be slower is remarkable
Oh cmon theres no way Perry was considered slow by the standards of when he broke into the league.

I don't remember him being considered particularly fast, but the NHL of 2006 had guys like Jason Allison playing second line minutes, and Derian Hatcher was a top 4 guy on a competitive team.

You don't know what a truly slow hockey player looks like 🤦‍♂️
