Sure Johnny put up better numbers in his second year, but that would have been his Draft+4 year that he hit 78 points. Chucky got 77 in his Draft+2 year. The arguement would be that Tkachuk has put up 174 points in his 18/19/20 years, Johnny put up 1.

Gaudreau led his team in scoring by 15 points prior to that extension, whereas Tkachuk trailed the team lead by 22 points and finished fourth on the team overall in points. That's a big factor.
