I didnt want the Canucks to draft him at all going in to the draft, and in terms of who ends up being the best pick after Matthew/Laine for those in the 2-8 range its years before we know
but Tkachuk has definitely changed my mind, I've been really impressed with him all season
he's going to be a top line winger in a few years, he reminds me of a smaller Todd Bertuzzi and I think in his prime he can get close to that level when he learns to dominate with size
Really good with the puck, great down low passer, takes no crap from anyone, bit of a mean streak, tons of goals within 8 feet of the net but also some highlight real types as well
