I have liked that idea for a while as well. I think Tkachuk could transition well to RW (he's very effective on his off-wing going back to the CHL) and his grit and (especially) his IQ would work well with Monahan and Gaudreau.
I thought he was served well on that line with Backs and Frolik this year. Guess it depends on if he's ready to make the jump in ice time or if he could use more time learning on that same line.
Ultimately I think he could be that top line winger we're looking for.
