Well matthews is still better
“The most impressive career thus far”? Are you fucking stupid
7:25 Tkachuk with the most impressive career? Maybe the most impressive single season in 22-23, but Matthews has been SIGNIFICANTLY better for the rest of their careers including this season. He’s led the league in multiple goal scoring categories – including total goals – basically ever since he joined, was the first 60 goal scorer in a decade, plays the harder position at center, won the Hart, and is also having a significantly better 23-24 season so far than Tkachuk.
Sure, Tkachuk went to the final and was stellar on that run. But that doesn’t give him the more impressive career overall. At the end of the day, he still lost and has 0 cups to his name.
Ai Voice over is getting Really good. I would have guessed it was a real person if it wasn't for "blue LINE"
more AI spam… videos are going down hill on youtube.
Jim Benning was hired for his "scouting" but I want you guys to see what players that went right after.
Picked Jared McCann over David pasternak
Picked joulevi over Tkachuk
Picked Jake vertanin over William Nylander
I was choked when Vancouver passed on Tkachuk
As a Canucks fan We Fkd Up
Stop reminding me about him😭😭 (Bruins fan)
Puljujarvi is finnish
I'm glad you put some respect on Matthews cause he had as many goals as Thachuk had points before tonight.
As for the rest of the teams… Um… Oops?
Man, I still remember when the scouting on Laine was enough to hype him up as the next Ovechkin.
no team missed out on kachoke, hes a cancer.
I'm convinced that the Oilers would have picked Tkachuk of Puljujarvi was picked by Columbus…. It's still crazy to me that a player as hyped as Puljujarvi turned into a fringe 3rd liner… Huge whiff by us
This was Winnipeg Jet's biggest mistake… Tkachuk > Laine & Dubois by a landslide! Cheveldayoff is a chump! what a stupid choice, terrible!!
M.Tkachuk is destined to be a captain eventally.
With all Florida gave to get him. It was still highway robbery.
On a re-draft Gaudreau would have gone so much higher than the 4th round but hindsight is 20/20. You got some things wrong in the video, jesse puljujarvi is Finnish not Swedish, Tkachuk to my knowledge has never played for team Canada and as good as Chucky was in the ‘23 playoffs, you don’t get there without BoB’s .934 save percentage
Missed or passed on a rat? I think the later
He didn't want to play for canadian team
