I readily admit to my original bias against him due to his dad (even if you hadn't brought it up, I was actually going to).
He didn't have the greatest WJ tournament either. But watching him in the playoffs and in the MC, he was really good.
I wanted to get a trade done for Puljujarvi so bad because we need a RW. However, Tkachuk turned out to be an absolute gem. The kid has become my favourite player on the team - he simply does everything right. Haven't seen that much hockey IQ in a kid his age in a while.
Sheer awesomeness, and I couldn't be happier that I was wrong in my original bias against him.
Not sure what you're trying to prove with your post though.
