Saw him play a couple times, definitively not the style of a Tkachuk, but he can shoot hard and he is a good playmaker

I just say that cause he's a big physical winger who scores from around the net. Maybe not my best comparison

The best description would be Peter Forsberg, excellent at everything but skating but makes up for that by controlling the pace of the game. Also plays very physical too. Unfortunately Forsberg is no longer playing so not easy for reference.

As of players right now, I would say a mix of Panarin's skill and style but with Tkachuk's bite. Giroux maybe?

I think Taylor Hall. Not necessarily a power forward, but a guy who plays with physicality, and can use his body to engage along the walls and win battles, while still being able to play that elite finesse skill game.

He's just physical. Not really the same "predatory" mindset Tkachuk has.

Only thing he has like Tkachuk is the physicality. I was saying he's not like Marner or Hub though because of that

Less explosive/frenetic MacKinnon in the way that he's constantly a step ahead at all times & controls play thoroughly, not just a playmaker with his release
