Let's see what happens to his numbers playing for a team where he is actually expected to backcheck.

If Tkachuk was expected to score at that rate, with his physical attributes and pest game, he'd have gone in the top 3.

Tkachuk was in the draft with Matthews, who is expected to be a #1 centre, and Laine and Pulujarvi, who are expected to be substantially better goal-scorers than Hall. A player with Hall's offence and Tkachuk's physical attributes and pest game… well… would probably still have gone 4th. Then Columbus and Vancouver had organizational brain farts and drafted by position, and Tkachuk fell to 6th. You can't tell anything from that.
