I think coming in at 200+ lbs, Tkachuk may surprise some people with how NHL ready he'll look. He has the size and work ethic and by the sounds of it will be given every opportunity.
One thing that struck me as interesting watching his videos from last season is the amount of damage he did from the right side of the ice in the o-zone. While I don't think he'll be top line right away, there's a good chance his size and style might compliment Johnny and Monahan despite being a left shot.
