For me the best Tkachuk comparable in the league right now is Gabe Landeskog. Plays a mean power game, clear leader of his team, great player on his own, becomes elite when paired with dynamic talent.
I'm not saying that the solution for Tkachuk to get to the next level is to go and get Nathan Mackinnon to play with him. But I think that Landeskog is a good example of how Tkachuk ideally fits on a team that's got all the boxes ticked in terms of talent in the right roster spots.
