How about this, you are trying to compare Barkov to Tkachuk, and anyone would tell you right off the bat that Katchuck is something very special, generational, Ala McDavid, you can pretty much put the whole NHL against McDavid and Tkatchuck and I will bet you will end up disappointed, beside being very happy to have Tkachuk in your team at the same time you should embrace Barkov for what he brings, all the intangibles that are unmatched, scoring is just one of them, and if he gets trapped on the boards, it is because he demands that kind of attention when 2 guys are needed to strip him from the puck.
