Let's look at it in a more rational and reasonable context - if there were a distribution draft of Florida players, who do other GMs grab after Barkov? Bobrovky? Hardly. Reinhart? Maybe if that particular GM specifically needed a sniper. Ekblad? Unlikely.
The answer is that it would almost certainly be Tkachuk.

The fact that you don't even mention Forsling is telling...
The Panthers could have survived without Tkachuk...dead in the water without Barkov, Bob, Forsling.
Like Bob absolutely stole game 1...thank your lucky stars or we would be hearing all about the Oilers cup right now.
Have your opinion but to say "its not even close" is so ridiculous it destroys any argument you have. Even Cali will tell you it is at least VERY close. I wanted Tkachuk to own the Oilers, I think Lomberg did as much in the Finals.
