All that said, Tkachuk is the exact perfect example of a guy who has limited skating ability and will fall off a cliff hard right around age 30. and he is a prime example of a guy you likely don't want to be owing a huge amount of money into his mid 30s

Yeah his play lately is concerning. Almost hoping to hear that he’s battling through an injury.
I don’t disagree with your point. He very well may be highly overpaid on his next contract. I hope not, but he doesn’t have the skating ability of say a Backlund who post 30, can still fly around out there.
With that said, he still can be a very effective player once he hits that age if he continues to bring all his other intangibles along with him. He’s a player, who when he’s on and doing what he does, certainly helps your team.
