This team would definitely be better

Agreed, So long as they didn't pull an Oilers and draft Puljujarvi

The Jets would NOT be better with Tkachuk then with Laine, the Jets have really relied on their powerplay the last couple seasons, Tkachuk isn't scoring on the PP like Laine does.

If they had Tkachuk then they wouldn't have to rely on the powerplay. Relying on a powerplay to win games is not something that you want to ever do because then your chances of success depend on how many penalties the other team takes.

Tkachuk is scum, like one of the biggest POS's in the game and his ceiling is nowhere near where Laine's is, I'd never want Tkachuk on my team.

Most teams rely on their powerplay to some extent.

If the powerplay has potential to get me a goal a game...I take that all day.
Sure Tkachuk is a great player but at the end of the day when you ask majority of people and I am sure execs in the leauge, they would take Laine over Tkachuk every time. His potential is clearly higher and he has literally just scratched the surface of his potential. Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant and bases their opinion on a "slow season" where we saw a 20 year old put up 30 goals and get criticized.
