Canuck fans are likely always going to regret this pick. Joulevi may pan out to be a top pairing Dman but I feel Tkachuk will be a sure fire first line winger with captain potential.

He is easily having the best rookie season of our top 10 picks during this rebuild. What is shocking is he is currently having a better season than Monahan who is in his 4th year, Gaudreau in his third and less surprising Bennett in his second
