People talk about Tkachuk like he is the slowest, most incompetent skater to ever see ice time in the NHL. It’s nonsense, and given his exceptional vision, his elite-level passing and puck-handling skill, I cannot see how his foot speed can be much of any concern. It sure hasn’t held Tkachuk back from being a game-breaking player so far, in an era when the game has never been faster.

Honest question
How many 100 point players have questions about their skating?
