What I like about Tkachuk is that he not only agitates but scores. If he's not scoring he's helping out in front of the net for other players to get a scoring chance.

That's exactly right, he will no doubt be a huge building block for us moving forward.
As most media/scouts predicted, we are all falling in love with this player. Holy smokes does ever brings smiles to our faces as Sens fans.
That shoulder to Malkin was friggin' priceless... 19 and playing against a HHOFer for the first time and he gives him that kind of knock, friggin' priceless.

The majority who posted in this thread, hated the Pick Dorion made this past draft.

People are wrong sometimes. People admit they are wrong sometimes. Such is life.

As an apparent "Tkachuk hater" (someone who had him in their top 10 but not top 4), I'm not about to admit I was wrong about him being the BPA where we took him after 9 freakin' games.
That question will be settled in 3-5YRs. It's far too early to call anyone out for doubting him, just as it would be too early to call him a bust or a bad pick if he was doing poorly.

I am not saying you specifically would have done so, but you just know there would be so much hatred towards management and Tkachuk if he did nothing in these first 9 games.
It is too early to say how he will do, but it is a bit of a lesson that people should just keep quiet when their team makes a draft pick. 95% of the critics of the pick would have never seen any of the prospects play games. Most fans should not judge draft picks.

I think we can easily call out those who called him a Chris Neil Lawson Crouse Lazar 2.0 Maroon no skill career bottom 6er.
Wanting another player is different than being laughably critical - making some look like absolute fools
Tkachuk is awesome, we all win

Fyi yesterday i spoke personally with a Washington Capitals scout. (Albeit a pro scout), but he told me the Caps had Brady rated #3. He did however say some teams had him ranked #2!
I was lucky enough to have a private invitation to a Stanley cup party with him. Super cool!

My one error and im kicking myself was to ask if he knew if Ottawa had Brady ranked #2 as well. Often other teams know each otjers boards especially so post draft.
Would have solved the Brady and Svechnikov question we all had.
Something tells me we would have gone with Brady regardless

I just think there has been too much chatter from Dorion talking about quality people, leadership and all. Im definitely connecting dots here though and assuming we had him ranked #2
You are by far the most negative poster on the sens board that I've seen. Always talking about how Stone and Duch are leaving and how the Sens are gonna be bottom 5 this year because it's unsustainable. And now you don't like Tkachuk to boot? Lighten up.

I don't think I posted in that thread, but I was definitely on team hated-the-pick. I am so very glad to admit I how wrong I was.

Ditto. Still early to call. I really, really, really don't like the idea of setting expectations so high and anointing the kid with less than two months of pro games under his belt.
But, at this point, if he stays at the level he's at right now, I'll be relatively happy with the pick.

I didn't say i don't like Brady.
I call it as I see it with regards to this franchise.
Feel free to disagree, but please don't tell me how to be a fan.
Fair enough. After the past year, I understand why fans would have a negative outlook. I guess I'm more of a dreamer and you're a realist.

lol, never get too high, never get too low. (Yes, I know, haha...but trying to keep an even keel here.)
Just a little worried that folks are starting to set really high expectations for both Tkachuk and Batherson after their great starts. Both these kids are legit...but let's not be penciling them in as 1st liners yet. If there get there, awesome! But if they become solid 2nd liners, that's amazing, too.
I don't want folks to feel a letdown, if they "only" become 2nd line guys....you know what I mean?
