Rapports de dépistage de Matthew Tkachuk

High end competitor who is a bit of a throwback / old style NHL forward
Gets under the skin of opponents. Never quits on a play. Always involved.
Average plus skater. Not a high end threat off the rush. Best work comes from the hash marks down and around the net in the offensive zone. Quick hands. Catches pucks and makes timely plays. Bull dog out front the net. Hard to move. Team player. Willing to sacrifice for the good of the group. After back to back seasons scoring over 100 pts, he isn't scoring at the same rate in 23/24. Still directing pucks on net but his shooting % has dipped below 5% - which is the lowest in his career. Averages around 19:00 TOI - ES and PP#1

A bit of a throwback. Plays the game with a mix of tenacity, skill and physicality.
Gets under the skin of opponents. A distraction. Never goes away. Always comes back for more. Competes in all over the ice. Battles along the wall. Goes to the crease.
Produces high end offense. Creative in tight quarters.
Leads by example. Ultimate team guy.
There are nights he crosses the line and can be a bit 'over the top' with his edginess, but there is not denying his value to team results overall. Averages over 19:00 TOI - ES and PP - rarely PK

Power forward approach.
Always involved. Plays on the edge and sometimes over the edge.
Quick stick in tight quarters. Battles for space around the crease and along the wall.
Capable skater but not a massive threat in transition. Best work comes from the hash marks down in the offensive zone. A greasy player. He's hard to play against and opens up space for his team mates.
