Brady Tkachuk was one of the players who drew the camera's eye during the
4 Nations Face-Off the past week and a half.
Both Matthew and Brady would be significant contributors to Team USA's success along the way, scoring two goals each in the definitive victory over Finland.
The Tkachuks would lead the way in an electrifying match between the USA and Canada dropping the gloves early in the game and pairing off with
Sam Bennett, and
Brandon Hagel.
It was an exciting time for hockey fans last week, as the best-on-best would provide some of the NHL's greatest talent and would provide us with a compelling reason to watch, which included Brady Tkachuk.
It was different seeing him emblazoned with a Team USA crest, compared to the typical Ottawa Senators general we usually see.
After last week's tournament, there's a good case for the Bruins to explore a trade with the Senators for Tkachuk.
The Bruins could utilize his relationship with McAvoy to begin the recruitment process, but make sure it's tightly supervised, so it doesn't tread into tampering territory.
Both players' relationship has trickled onto the ice, even during the 4 Nations Face-Off. Tkachuk would demolish
Connor McDavid on the ice, and who was his hypeman? None other than
McAvoy.
«That starts with (expletive) you! That starts with you,» Tkachuk screamed at McAvoy on the bench. «Hey! That starts with Charlie there. Starts with (expletive), Charlie!»
Not only that, but he fits the prototypical Bruins player, as he's never afraid of playing the physical game, with a scoring touch.
He's never afraid of going to dirty areas of the ice either, and will absolutely drop the gloves if the time is right.
This season in 56 games with the Senators he's scored 44 points (21 G, 23 A) and could be the next-greatest player to wear the spoked-B for the Bruins.
