Matthew Tkachuk is going to be a great NHL player one day. This kid has it all and in my opinion, he will probably raise in the ranks before the 2016 NHL draft along with Alex Nylander. He’s a smooth skater with terrific hands that will make you pay the price if you give him the room or ability to. Tkachuk has very good hockey IQ for his age and can create a lot of plays.

Here’s what Craig Button had to say about Tkachuk, “Can play a skilled game making plays or finishing them. Is excellent in the hard areas, very smart and plays with an edge and undeniable determination”.

Next: #4-Patrik Laine
