I was thinking about a joke that playing 4v5 in your own end when Johnny is on the ice - of course that is a massive exaggeration.

Of course Tkachuk isn't the second coming of Datsyuk, but he'd pair well with the team's two best defensive forwards, and they'd have an excellent counter-attack against other team's top lines.
