IIRC there was a lot of talk about the Flames moving up from 6 to 3. Still early, but it's looking pretty astute to stay and 6 and pick the guy they got. I do think playing with Frolik and Backlund does help, but Tkachuk isn't causing those two any undue stress.

Even Puljujarvi is looking worse than Tkachuk. It is so early but as of today only Laine and Matthews look like the better nhlers than Tkachuk. Given his style of play I would say it is unlikely that Puljujarvi ever passes Tkachuk in my books
