À chaque match auquel j’ai assisté récemment, j’ai remarqué une chose avant le début du match : TK passe BEAUCOUP de temps à lancer des palets aux enfants. Il passe un temps disproportionné à ramasser des palets, à se promener autour des bandes et à les lancer avec son bâton aux fans de la première rangée.
Est-ce que c’est un gros problème ? Non, pas spécialement. Peut-être qu’un imbécile pourra argumenter que s’il passait plus de temps à s’échauffer, il vaudrait peut-être le prix de sa nouvelle prolongation.
Mais pour moi, je pense que cela signifie beaucoup.

I don’t necessarily think TK’s play is worth the $8.75M AAV, but I do think the intangibles he brings to the team make this a reasonable deal. His ability to get under opponents skin and draw penalties, his willingness to grind out shifts and end a shift in the offensive zone, his leadership traits and ability to set a tone, his community involvement are all hard to find in a player.
The limited NTC after 6 years is huge because it gives us options when he hits 34 y/o, and the fact that the cap will likely grow $3-5M per year over the next 5 will make this digestible.
At the end of the day, I’m happy he’s playing for us and not against us.
This is why I chose my flair last year.
Maybe he should spend more time practicing to earn that extension

“Working the fans” is just as much of a skill as handling the puck on the ice. He’s doing it right.
TK is just who we need. 🧡
Man I hope that advertisement patch gets an update. Classes so bad on the orange
