..where he will play in 2018-2019.

Multiple reports prior to that said Tkachuk would inform all parties involved of where he will play by mid-August. According to Jeff Cox of the New England Hockey Journal, it's more likely that Tkachuk is heading back to Boston University for his sophomore season. Tkachuk's Ontario Hockey League rights belong to the London Knights, and there have also been rumors he could bolt from the NCAA and head to juniors.

The thought of him going back to college is slightly worrying. You never know with that UFA loophole after four years, it seems like more and more prospects are using it.

Best case scanerio, IMO, is signed and plays the year in London.
