They need to take Tkachuk off of that line. I don't know why they put him there in the first place. There is no chemistry. It's like the coaches are a person playing a video game, and just put as much highly rated players together as possible.

Something is up again with him IMO.
Was clicking for years with Bennett and then this past stretch of both being black holes on both sides of the ice.
I got moving him with Barkov to see if anything could happen but yea looks like just keep him off Barkov's line unless it's the powerplay
 
Feels like we might never get 2022-23 level Tkachuk again. It's weird cause if you look at his 2 seasons after that one, his shooting%, possession stats and hits are largely the same (apparently hes recorded more hits since that season, which seems hard to believe based on what ive seen). He's also played with mostly the same linemates. Bennetts production hasn't changed much at all. So it's not like 2022-23 seemed to be a statistical outlier, especially given the fact he had a 100 point before that.

But he just doesn't look the same since that season and I don't think I could pinpoint something specific. But everything from his physicality to offense is just not as noticeable, and statistically, it only shows in his raw point totals.

Right now, he looks like a 34 years old version of himself.

I think he will bounce back. But I agree, we will never see 2022-2023 level again.

I mean that was pretty damn elite lol. He got us a cup already so as sad as it is, it’s not a big deal in the long run. He’s still a great player.
