Man, he's good. That line is all about puck movement. Reminds me of the Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler line when it was at its best.
Tkachuk is a so great down low, setting up at or below the goal line. Also has a knack for the net when looking to receive a pass. Quite a good release.
When I watch him I get the same sense as I did Monhahan in 2013 about how well I thought his game translates to the NHL. Monahan it was his assassin shot, Tkachuk his hockey sense and playmaking ability down low and in the tight areas. Maybe not a coincidence he also went at the same spot in the first round, not the flash of the top tier, but may be every bit as good in the end. I am very excite.
