Honestly don't know more about MK than the hilight packs show, but he appears to want to make a career around being good in front of the net. That's something I've never seen on a flames team... maybe ever. The only kind of player that I can imagine doing that is someone who is tough enough to take punishment... but the game is changing and that area isn't as brural as it once was. Tkachuk looks like he's made a SKILL out of it rather than being a body bag with a huge pain tolerance. As unique as that is, I'm unsure if that can work in the NHL for a young guy right away or if he is going to have to learn more before he can get to HIS game. I think he'll be evaluated but won't come up again until late in the season if there are injuries or a playoff push (or both). Too many variables in there to say otherwise.
