Tkachuk still absolutely has the tools to be an elite winger, but much like Johnny Gaudreau, he has flaws, namely his skating and pace of play, but pair him up with the right linemates and I think you get the most out of him.
Tkachuk still does an amazing job getting the puck out of his own zone and is elite at cycling along the boards. These are things that can still make him successful, but with out the right linemates and the right style of play, I think his attributes will be wasted like they were most of this season.
