Tkachuk and Kucherov put up similar points (currently - Kucherov has done it for a longer period of time, though), but Tkachuk brings a lot more to the table than just that. Tkachuk can still impact the game in a big way without putting any points on the board... I'm not sure the same can be said for Kucherov.
Kucherov: 2 Stanley Cups, Hart, Art Ross, multiple first team all stars, point per game in playoff since forever

Tkachuk: younger, one good playoff but intangibles lol

Btw, Tkachuk without points is not that valuable
