LW Matthew Tkachuk (2016, 6th, CGY) II

[Cyborg LeClair]

I personally think he's better than Dubois, but I could see a team preferring Dubois if they dont have a 1 or 2 C

 

[TruGr1t]

Trading down to pick a LHD is the dumbest thing they could do either trade pick outright for a RHD or trade One of RNH/Eberle no dmen in this draft will help the Oilers for 2/3 seasons the left side is good it's the right side they need to fix no dmen in the 1st round fits this.So if they don't trade outright they pick the bpa and that isTkachuk imo.

Not that I care about this argument, but for accuracy's sake Sergachev played the RS quite a bit this year apparently.

 

[TMLife*]

Oilers should stand pat at #4 and draft the best player left of Matthews/Laine/Pulj/Tkachuk/PLD.

I don't think moving back for a dman this year is a great idea, but I do like Serg.. I'm just not seeing a tier1 defensemen in anyone that Edmonton should be targetting.

IMO, they should draft at the #4 spot and then trade a few proven valuable assets. Easier said than done, but that's what I'd look to do if I was Edmonton.

Friedman's 30 Thoughts are pretty Tkachuk dominated this week: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-matthew-tkachuks-draft-stock-gaining-momentum/

Apparently he's killing it in his combine interviews.

And could still go 6.

I really see no way for Tkachuk to not go either 4. or 5. Then again, it's Benning so maybe he'll pick DeBrincat with the 5th pick or something.

Benning sucks at everything but drafting.

Oh, right. Then maybe he'll trade the 5th pick away for a shutdown defenseman or something, and add a 2nd round pick for good measure. Then again, the receiving team would just pick Tkachuk if available in that case...

 

[TruGr1t]

What are you basing that on? Random. Friedman says the chances of that are "infinitesimal." Top five is set pretty much.

That's our Benning.

:sad

We haven't seen these Oilers with a first round pick outside of number one yet, so I think it's kind of silly to say that.

I'd imagine if the Oilers took him there would be a 95% chance he goes back to junior.

Klefbom- returned X2, Eberle returned X2, Nurse returned X2

 

[Aceboogie]

By drafting a Forward with the 4th pick, the Oilers are finally going to fix all their problems that have made them miss the playoffs the last 10 Yrs.

In all seriousness, the Oilers need to trade this pick for an established Dman or drop down and take a Dman from 7-12 spot.

They are banking on being able to trade one of nuge or eberle for a Dman but no GM will give them that because they know how desperate the Oilers are.

The Oilers dont need Tkachuk, Dubois Puljujarvi they need Juolevi Chychrun Sergschrev or someone like Lindholm, Tanev

It seems like every Dubios or Tkachuk thread there is one Nucks or Flames poster who embarrasses themselves with a post like this. Congrats on being first one in this one!

Its takes a special ability to have such a lack of grasp on a teams need. You pop your head in several threads, youd think youd pick up that the best way to acquire a NHL proven top 4 RHD is not to pick the exact opposite. A non NHL proven LHD

Any links for commentary/articles about his interviews?

Benning sucks at everything but drafting.

despite the fleecing of Tom Rowe on the Gudbranson trade, the only clowns who think Benning loss the trade, is on hfboards.com, and as per hfboards.com whatever Benning does is a bad move, even if we traded a 7th rounder for Jack Eichel they will somehow spin it in a way that Canucks lose trade. Traded a Tweener and 2nd round pick for a 6'5 top 4 dman.

Biggest Canucks haters like Nick Kypereos, Craig Button, Bill Watters and claiming its a Canucks win in that trade, really has that backing ofa win for the Canucks.


Hfboards.com Benning loses trade

anyways I think Tkachuk will look good in Blue and Green. Don't ya think?

Here's Tkachuk from Dvorak, but of a different kind:

I wonder if this Buffalo rumor will pick up any steam.

Tkachuk with Reinhart sounds pretty damn amazing.

 

[Purity*]

I think Tkachuk has finally started gaining more respect this last while.

I think this guy is easily the 4th best prospect in the draft, I can definitely see him turning into a meaner, peskier JVR-type player which can be very valuable to a team.

What rumor?

 

[ijuka]

What really made me change my opinion on Tkachuk is that he scored a point in 67 of 73 of his team's even-strength goals with him on the ice(according to twitter). That's an absurd number and there's no way that could be down to luck and chance unless you'd bet on winning like 20 lottery jackpots in a row.

I thought that his linemates might have carried him, with this I feel like it actually was the other way around. That's a ridiculous number.

He may not of been carried, but no way was it even close to the other way around. Marner put up 2 ppg and Dvorak around 1.8 with their primary LWer being Matt Rupert. Don't know how you can make any possible argument that they were carried.

 

[Breakers]

What rumor?

Some combination of Bogosian for the 4th.

 

[93LEAFS]

Unless the 8th is attached that is far from realistic.

What were their ratios, though?
