If Tkachuk can play at an NHL level this season we could really use that guy who gets under opponents skin and takes them off their game.
Besides Ferland vs Vancouver the last time a player did that was Akim Aliu and it was surprisingly effective in the 2-3 games he played. If I recall correctly he pissed off the whole Anaheim Ducks team pretty much and threw off their big guys cause he had them fuming. We could use that again.

For sure. Call it lucky or smart drafting but the Flames have done really well with their top picks. Brought in a nice mix of players with Mony, Bennett and Tkachuk. Solidify themselves up the middle while adding skill and nastiness on the wing. Much rather that than what the Oilers did with their top picks. Too much of the same, no balance.
