He's been there three times and looked overwhelmed and ineffective each time.
Of the top ten picks in 2016, Tkachuk is 6th in playoff scoring. The only player's he's ahead of are two guys who have never played a play-off game (lol Juolevi) and two guys who have only made one trip.

He’s 23 years old. Think I’ll give him at least another kick at the can before I call him a “proven non playoff performer”. Now Monahan and Gaudreau I might agree with you. And I think that speaks a lot on Tkachuk in general and why I’d be hesitant to call him that. This team as a whole has been a playoff non-performer ever since MT came into the league.
EDIT-
His rookie season he had 0P in 4 GP. Tough to be critical there.
The next crack he had at it he had 3 P in 5 GP. I wouldn’t call that terrible. And then yes last season outside of a few games he was underwhelming.
Far too small of a sample size to be making any judgements.
