Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 tkachuk scores all of his goals within 20 ft of the net. i think people need to understand he plays a pro game that will translate. hes not flashy and outskilling everyone which rarely translates. he outsmarts and outworks players for position. he creates openings and traffic for skill guys yet has tremendous skill to beat goalies in close and deflect pucks. he backs up defenses by making them colllapse on his position. for all of the second assists they are well earned as well as goals he is a big part of but doesnt get points on because of his positioning. 19g 20a 16gp but was held scoreless in 1st 2 playoff games so the points are over 14 gp.

Lomez Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 After this playoff run for the Knights, i'd be disappointed if we didn't take Tkachuk, given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tkachuk will be ours. Whoever selects at 4th will take Dubois. Wether it be Edmonton or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I've seen him play and he passes the eye test. Skating needs work but looks like a future 1st liner otherwise. If not we get Dubois. The lotto sucked but look how it's worked out for us not getting the 6th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kept a close eye on him because many in london feel his stats are inflated due to his linemates, but his hockey sense and vision is what won me over. Great toughness too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Edmonton wants a Dman at #4 we better quickly give them one to keep #4 and #5. I do not want Calgary getting either Tkachuk or Dubois. Definitely not Tkachuk so I guess that tells me who we should be hoping to get. Tanev and #33 pick for #4? Not sure that gets it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton is taking Tkatchuk. They need what he brings in their top six forward group. They are a VERY soft team, who's forwards are FAR too easy to play against. Why wouldn't they take Tkatchuk?

clam linguine Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If you look at it as #4 OA , it may not. If it is Tanev and #33 for Chick, Serge or Julie...it should. But I really don't think the Oilers would take a D at #4. To me..that would be incompetent. I am sure they would trade down or trade the pick to someone who wants a forward.

The suggestion that Montreal trades Subban to the Oilers so they can pick Dubois is interesting. That would give us Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with a new building and a young core that's getting less and less "young" and running out of excuses, they need to start winning and that means building their d corp. Tanev would be a solid piece in that puzzle........it would also mean they would only have to move one of their top fwds for another dman to really nail it down......say a Harmonic kind of deal. Obviously it leaves a pretty big hole on the Canucks blue line, but solidifies a rock solid, young top 6 in the next 5 years with both PLD and Tkachuk.

48MPHSlapShot Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 All in all, I'll be very happy if we pick Dubois or Tkachuk. Both seem like winners to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually those trades are 3 to 5 pieces. That #4 pick in this draft would be worth a lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the Canadiens don't want to miss out on a French star. I remember when the Habs chose Wickenheiser over Savard. It was huge in the French press. With the local guy being so good, maybe they would give up PK? I sure like Tkatchuk, so if we could get him - great. If he's not there, I wonder if JB takes Juliovvi?

I know there's rumours, but I just don't see mtl dumping a Norris dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
