I do kinda agree with dissentowner. Tkachuk's fiesty / pesty game doesn't lend itself well to having to deal with refs / other players / etc. Yes, he's probably a better "in-the-room" leader...but as a spokesman and diplomat....probably Monahan is the safer (read: more boring) choice.
While we're talking about Tkatchuk's future -> I think when his career is over he should be the head of the Department of Player Safety!
