Tkachuk jockeying for a spot next to Barkov.

I actually disagree with you.
I have always felt that Tkachuk coming from a Professional Hockey family was predictable. He's a mercenary.
He will give you what you pay him to give you. No more. No less. Hence my consistent assertion that he is not 'Captain Material.'
He has it all now. He is paid. Job done. Top line, third line, I dont think he cares anymore. He'll still perform, of course, because he's probably got at least one more contract in him, but he is in this for the life and the money and he's already gotten the vast majority of what he's going to get.
