He might have the mass, but its not fair to say his game is NHL ready. I think the Drasaitl analogy is great. Drasaitl was rushed and then eventually put down into juniors, even after a year was burnt. Tkachuk might go into the dirty areas in juniors, but he's only 6'1", which isn't big in the NHL

I not get this size thing, most players in the NHL are 6'1"-6'2", people want 7'0" like Yao Ming. And he has the summer to add weight.
