Interesting comparables. I think Tkachuk has more upside than a Kunitz. He's bigger, stronger and a better playmaker. In terms of size, strength and scoring a guy like Max Pacioretty might be a better comparable although I do think Tkachuk is a better playmaker than Paccioretty. Landeskog, Perry, Pacioretty are all closer comparables to me than Kunitz.
