Other than that, I thought the boys played great. I love Tkachuk. He may be a blessing in disguise. I don't think I'd trade him for Puljujarvi.

I don't see qualities or intangibles in Pool Party that set him apart from most young player/prospects like I do in Tkachuk. Matthew brings an element to his game that every team needs a bit of. And he's got potential to be one of the best in the game in close around/behind the net. Maybe like a Holmstrom? And you know what kind of success those Detroit teams had.
JP may require more development than guys like Matthews, Laine and Tkachuk, but tbh I'd still take Chucky over him.
It's nice that it looks as of right now that Calgary got the most ideal pick out of the western canadian teams, despite finishing above them and Edmonton "lucking out" with JP dropping.
