I was at a Canada Day party and chatted with a man who summers in PEI but lives in London the rest of the year. He has done some Jr. B reffing too, so he knows the game well. The topic of Tkachuk came up and he said he watched him regularly and thought Calgary may have gotten the best guy in the draft. He says the skating issue has been absurdly exaggerated and that his game will translate 100% at the NHL level. He also said that with his drive he'd be surprised if he didn't make the Flames this season.
