Tkachuk is 1 year from being able to be a UFA.
That matters.
And I think you are buying into fan commentary about this draft. It isn't great at the top end, but that doesn't mean those top picks still don't have gobs of value.

That top pick is still a magic bean whereas Tkachuk is a sure thing. It would be 2nd OA+, especially if the Devils lock in a 7/8 year deal.
