We need to get to a place where johnny is complimentary to the offense but not the guy that is leaned on to pull the team through.
Tkachuk could be the guy that can be leaned on to swing the tide in big games in a couple years. But we need a couple guys on different lines that can elevate and take leadership that ####ing hate to lose.
Cant hang much on Monahan for the last few weeks but he would become instantly more valuable if he would get angry and use his size. First line is missing some bite, so whenever they're not feeling it they get walked rather than making life hard on the opposition when they're not scoring. You'd think Ferland would be an answer to that and he was for a month or two but he's been way too quiet since.
The top 6 needs an injection of skill and character and I think that should be BTs biggest priority.

Nor should he be expected to be the guy to push others around. He needs somebody on his line to take care of business for him.
