But the key thing in that is he never says Tkachuk has a very high ceiling. So no, I haven't 'ignored' what they say.
I'm not interested in hearing your theories about my opinion, as you continue to try to indoctrinate me into your size-obsessed philosophy. Try not responding to everything I post about Tkachuk with "But your opinion disagrees with what 'the scouts' say". I'm not oblivious to the reports posted forth by the scouting hivemind. I'm not being intentionally dense towards them either. You're just emphasizing different parts that appeal more to you.
And being younger is no excuse for a top 6 pick, who's big and strong and playing on a top line, to be outproduced at ES by Aaron Berisha.

Tkachuk seems like the absolute perfect complimentary player to Bennett though. If Porier or Ferland figure it out that could be a nasty second line to contend with
