Perry may have a better shot but Tkachuk seems to be way more of a complete player at this stage of his career. I think what’s often lost about Tkachuk is how good he is in his own zone against other teams best players. He’s such a unique type of player it’s hard to find comparables, but I think Perry is the best one. Perry was still in the OHL at Matt’s age tho, which just shows you how mature of a game Tkachuk plays for his age.

Tkachuk
did say that Corey Perry was his favorite player and that he modeled his game after him.
