I was I initially pissed when I saw that Puljujarvi had fallen to the Oilers in the draft but felt that Tkachuk was a good consolation prize. Now I realize it's only been a handful of exhibition games, but it sure looks like we may have the better player. It could be typical terrible player development by the Oil but Tkachuk has easily outplayed Puljujarvi. He's even giving Matthews a run for his money. Love that this kid has earned a spot on the opening day roster and has a chance to stick all season like Mony back in 2013. That Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer line could be an absolute force this season.
