Matthew Tkachuk Gets New Deal In Calgary
5 years agoCalgary Flames left-winger Matthew Tkachuk signed a three-year, $21 million contract to remain in Alberta on Wednesday. The 21-year-old, who was a restricted free agent, had been holding out of his team's training camp in hopes of getting rewarded for impressive 77-point (34 goals, 43 assists) campaign in 2018-2019. Tkachuk has sucessfully been able to tip-toe the line in becoming a elite-scoring pest over his first three NHL seasons, routinely getting under the skin of his opponent while finding the scoresheet at a high frequency. The St. Louis native has emerged as a multi-category fantasy stud - as described by his 24 power-play points, 62 penalty minutes, 207 shots, and 104 hits last season. He'll look to pick up right where he left off and should finish as a top-50 fantasy asset in most formats.
