Tkachuk will be fine. He knows that skating is his weakess point and will work hard over the summer using a similar program that Monahan used. Skating can be corrected and improved on.
And Nemisz is not a comparable to Tkachuk at all. One was picked 6th (and could have gone higher) for a reason, the other was a late 28th pick.

These days I think concerns with a players skating is more like he isn't fast like Pavel Bure.
