Probably the best way to put it. He's had a smaller sample size, but given the edge he brings with his game, I expect this to be somewhat of a typical occurrence for Tkachuk. Effective players of that type (Marchand and Gallagher being the first that come to mind) find their way in the press box here and there for sticking to the way they play.
Not something I would ever hope for as I wasn't a fan of the elbow, but Tkachuk will draw plenty of attention from the DoPS over his career imo.
