Tkachuk is somewhere between 11th-15th among wingers. Though you can probably bump him up a slot now that Gaudreau is devil incarnate here.
Definitely better:
Nikita Kucherov
Patrick Kane
Alex Ovechkin
David Pastrnak
Kirill Kaprizov
Jonathan Huberdeau
Artemi Panarin
Johnny Gaudreau
Mitchell Marner
Mikko Rantanen

Putting aside that Tkachuk is a better defensive player than every guy on that list other than Huberdeau and maybe Rantanen, he also had more PPG last year than Kane, Pastranak, Ovechkin, Rantanen. Yet despite being better offensively and defensively than 3 of those guys he is worse than all of them. Or is Tkachuk a ####ty defensive player now too?
