What are your guys opinion on Tkachuk? There are times when I think he'll be an NHLer this year, but other times when I think another year in Juniors will do wonders for him.
Tkachuk definitely has flaws to his game, many of which can be fixed with maturity. With another year of development, he'd likely be more polished and consistent.
That being said, he doesn't look out of place playing with NHLers. He's clearly better than many others on the team. I do think he is too good for junior. Honestly, I don't think the OHL would be best for his development. Development is all that matters for him.

He looked good with Bennet and Brouwer. He reminds me of Corey Perry when we're on the PP. Always goes to the front on the net and does his best to interfer with the opposition goaltender.
Too good for juniors. He has things that need time, and I think the pros is where he needs to work on it. Too bad a year in the A isn't an option. I think he sticks with the Flames though

Man, I wish I saw that in this game, but I just didn't. I have massive hopes for Jankowski. Right now I think he needs just a bit more seasoning. Although, it's the first game I've seen this preseason so I may be wrong.

He's lacking intensity.
He would benefit from being in positions where he had just a fraction more time to make a decision. I also don't think he's played well enough to supplant an established player and I think guys like Hathaway and Hamilton have the inside track on him.

Playing 4th line minutes in Calgary while adjusting to the pro game is not what Jankowski needs. A year in Stockton will do wonders, and I bet we see a different Jankowski this time next year.
Not that what we saw was bad or anything, he just needs more time

I'd be very surprised if he's the next cut, but I think he certainly needs time in the AHL this year. He probably won't get sent down until Monahan and Backlund are both back.

Does anybody look at these before they're published? Stecher isn't playing. Demko has already made his debut in a Canucks uniform. Horvat isn't playing. Megna isn't playing. Sutter isn't playing. Seriously.

Apparently the line of Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer was extremely impressive in their opening game vs Edmonton.
Seriously if Calgary gets Gaudreau signed that team looks scary.
