I am not saying Tkachuk isn't a good player just not what I wanted to see on our team. And to my mind if I am not taking Tkachuk then OJ had to be the pick, no one else was close enough in my humble opinion.

I was very happy with this pick as well. Didn't want a jerk on the team and Tkachuk seems to have a lot of Kesler's attitude. OJ will probably need a year or so in the AHL but long term he should be a way more valuable player than Tkachuk, he sees the ice so well and thinks the game at such an elite level even if he doesn't translate into an Erik Karlsson type power play quarterback he has the potential to be the best defenseman Vancouver has ever had. I would be more than happy if he developed into a Paul Reinhart type dman
