I think it's a fair assessment to make that the two will be equal players in each team's success moving forward. It is pretty clear the OP was not suggesting they would be putting up the same type of production.
If Tkachuk is putting up 30+ goal campaigns with regularity over the next decade to go along with his tenacity and two way play, he would surely be on par with McDavid as far as value to the team is concerned.
For comparisons sake, how many players would you argue are more valuable to their team currently than someone like Brad Marchand has been the last few years? It isn't all about speed and finesse despite what the media like to preach.
