Aho skates faster and takes faceoffs.
Tkachuk hits, fights, draws penalties and leads (already wears an A).

Aho is 6’ 176lbs
Tkachuk is 6’2” 202lbs

They are both 21 and have each played 3 seasons.
I agree with everything in your post, except for the "he fights" comment which I have read a few times over the last couple of months.
Tkachuk doesn't fight in the context where it's used as a plus in contract negotiations. He is an agitator who drops the gloves a few times a season, of which he is usually on the losing end.

*edit In his defence he's only going to get bigger and stronger.
