Florida Panthers General Manager hilariously tries to oversell Matthew Tkachuk
The Florida Panthers shocked the hockey world when they traded Jonathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weegar, a prospect and a 1st round draft pick for Matthew Tkachuk. The trade was accompanied by Tkachuk signing an 8 year contract with an annual value of $9,500,000 per year.
Today the Florida Panthers introduced Tkachuk to the Florida media. During the media availability the Panthers General Manager, Bill Zito did one hell of an oversell while speaking about Tkachuk.
We are thrilled to add a generational talent to our lineup.
Last season with the Calgary Flames, Tkachuk put up 104 points in 82 games, which left him 8th in league scoring. The 104 points also left Tkachuk 11 points behind Huberdeau who he was acquired for.
While Tkachuk is a great player it's clear to see the only generational players currently in the game are Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Cale Makar. With both Alexander Ovechkin and possibly Auston Matthews being recognized as generational scorers.
