I know I would be worried about Tkachuk translating to the NHL... except he has the soft hands, the IQ, the grit and determination, and a host of other factors.

Laine
Mathews

Puljujarvi

Dubois

Tkachuk

Chychrun/Juolevi/Sergachev

Nylander

Nylander's inconsistent offence at times makes me more worried about a potential bust there - but I doubt he will. The only potential bust would be Chychrun based on some too-regularly occurring errors (poor 'toolbox'?), but that may also be from being over-played too much.

I think this is a fairly safe top 7 or 8. There may be some disappointments, but I wouldn't be the least bit worried about Tkachuk. I think he will translate rather nicely to the NHL. He is fairly good at everything, and has that drive and finishing ability.
