Good player - and will have a great junior career. Size will limit him at the next level.

He is still at very high face-off win % with 62
145/235

solid numbers

It will be interesting if someone takes Tulk in the 6th or 7th round. He's 5'8 but he's very quick and he's going to light the WHL on fire over the next two seasons.

Better player than his (pretty decent) numbers indicate. He's getting #2C minutes behind OA Fiddler-Schultz on a team that doesn't have a lot of winger depth. He'll be the #1 guy on that team next year and probably push 90-100 points.

Tulk commits to Wisconsin!

Tulk commits to Wisconsin!

Is he the second WHL player who commits to Big Ten?

Yep, Daniel Hauser, the Wenatchee Wild goalie, also committed to Wisconsin

Assuming he follows through with his commitment & ends up in Madison, Tulk could have an even bigger impact right away for Wisconsin than what Aiden Fink has had at Penn State.

I wouldn't view him as too big of a flight risk considering his size. At least two years in college will better prepare him for the rigors of the pro game.

I agree though, he should have an immediate impact and is one of the top-rated recruits for next season.

Sens outta draft him so he can play with his good buddy Yakemchuk.

Not sure he's giong to be looked at by teams, and going to NCAA he's not signing any contracts anytime soon as a 20+ year old free agent

Wonder if Tulk can have an Aiden Fink like impact right away in the NCAA. Fink was a big time contributor for Penn State on Day 1, Tulk could do the same for Wisconsin.

Tulk should walk into the NCAA as an elite player at that level. If he was a couple inches taller he would have gone in the first couple rounds of the draft and would have been playing in the AHL next season.
