I never thought Tkachuk was a Sutteresque player. He has grit, and hits. But he also doesn’t skate particularly hard, he tries cute plays instead of straight ahead ones and he doesn’t play at pace.

Mangiapane, Dube, Lucic, Lindholm to an extent - those are Sutter types. Downstream, Ryan, Ritchie, Nordstrom are Sutter types.
