Did you catch him on Coach's Corner with the other 4 top ranked forwards.
Asked who his favorite player in the NHL is... he responded: "Corey Perry".
Now that's bad enough in and of itself
... but he was standing next to Laine at the time who was still recovering from a Perry cheapshot.
Laine and Matthews looked at each other with WTF-smiles... Tkachuk was oblivious.
So yeah, Tkachuk is is a dumb-dumb who doesn't skate well and doesn’t backcheck.
He was playing on an awesome line with the Knights but definitely wasn't the straw stirring the drink.
As I've said all along, I was hoping for PLD at #5... but wasn't really expecting him to be there.
Flames were said to be hot for Juolevi, so pretty hard to play the trade-down game after PLD was gone.
I'm happy with Olli at #5.
