To be fair, there was a play last night where the SJ d-man caught Tkachuk waiting for the puck behind the net and dumped him on his ass like a child. It was a comical 'welcome to the NHL' moment. 
Tkachuk will get stronger and more savvy, but as a young guy who plays in the tough areas he can expect more painful lessons about positioning, awareness, and how size isn't much of a defence against the strength and leverage a grown NHL defenseman employs.
