I was less than impressed with Tkachuk at the WJCs, but I will confess to being biased on this one.
His father was one of the biggest delta bravos to ever lace 'em up in the NHL. Every time I think about the Jets keeping Tkachuk over Selanne (essentially), I throw up in my mouth. He wasn't just a DB, he was a room-wrecker. I have no idea whether or not his son is the same, but I simply don't want to take that chance.
There are plenty of other good forwards in this draft.
