Tkachuk on the other hand, is 7/6/4 in ice time for forwards over the last 3 years.
Calgary is also stacked offensively, Tkachuk doesn't even need to play on the first line to keep pace with Aho offensively. Suggesting whether they're 1st or 25th on team scoring is meaningless without context like ice time, or how many points they actually scored.

Exceptional point.
Tkachuk has been able to get lots of points playing with substandard line mates, other than when he gets PP time.
He,in fact, needs to drive the offense on his lines (other than PP time).
Considering that he's not the leading scorer on his teams, is actually more impressive.
