No, Tkachuk's game is more focused now even if its still rooted in some pest behavior. He's contributing in all aspects of the game.
He did not do that for the Flames in the playoffs. He looked almost obsessed with taking players off their game and often to the detriment of his own. From points to his actually being injured from that behavior.
So has he matured? Probably. But he wasn't good in the playoffs for the Flames.
