If you go by % possession, Tkachuk has had really strong numbers overall. He is consistently where Kadri was in his two best seasons. 
 
If you go by more defensive oriented stats like SA/60, GA/60, and XGA/60, Tkachuk is better in all of them. 
 
For example Tkachuk's worst season for CA/60 is 54.55. 
 
Kadri has two seasons better than Tkachuk's poorest, and nine worse. 
 
Its pretty much the same story in every metric one wants to look at. Kadri has a reputation larger than his results when it comes to defensive acumen. Left over hype from his time in Toronto, where he was a popular figure?
