NHL.com's top 10 left wings at 2016 Draft

A number of the highly talented left wings available for the 2016 NHL Draft come from rich hockey backgrounds.

Matthew Tkachuk of London is the son of United States Hockey Hall of Fame member Keith Tkachuk, who spent 18 seasons in the League before his retirement in 2010.

Ron Wilson, who coached Keith Tkachuk at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and 1998 Nagano Olympics, and Matthew Tkachuk in the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship, can see a comparison.

"Matthew has a long way to go with regard to his size (6-foot-1, 202 pounds), but he has a nose for the net and fights and claws and he's tenacious like his dad was," Wilson said.
