Before the lottery, there were a lot more critics of Tkachuck on this board. People calling him just a complimentary player, lacking in high end skill. I think I was one of those too.

But after the lottery, with the Flames unlikely to get him, I don't see a lot of the critics around anymore. It seems like Tkachuk is now the dream selection but it would take a miracle to get him.
Totally agree!

What I recommend is reading draft views from teams below Calgary. I read the Sabres one from Hockey Writers earlier today and it made me really happy!

At 8 they are hoping for what Calgary fans are annoyed with.

Do it!
