This picks up on the "next captain" thread from a few weeks back, and I disagree. A player does not need a letter to be a team leader, and I think in Tkachuk's case the responsibilities of the captaincy might actually prove to be a hindrance to some of the things that he does very well.
He is an awesome player, and easily one of the best Flames forwards for a long time into the future—with or without a letter on his jersey.
