I have said it a few times now, but I am not convinced Tkachuk would be a good choice to captain the Flames. My concern would be primarily that the on-ice representation would effect some of those parts of his game that make him so effective. He may be a great captain, but I don't think he obviously will. In the end it won't matter whether Tkachuk wears a letter or not. He will be a fantastic player for a very long time.

...I’ve lost track on how many times I’ve seen certain selfish players pull this crap throughout the league.
Taylor Hall who was discarded didn’t lay around feeling sorry for himself when he ended up a devil ....he kicked the living crap out of that opportunity and proved the oilers were wrong and I loved watching it.

No. Not exactly. When Hall was traded to the Devils he looked positively pedestrian in his first season. It took the full year and a summer for him to stop "feeling sorry for himself," and to finally "kick the living crap out of that opportunity."

...Brouwer was an easy target but he wasn’t going to win it all Taylor Hall style......Hamilton wasn’t the kind of guy either so I’m not upset that either of those guys is gone.
They never needed to say a word as you could see it in their play. No heart. No effort . Just me me me .

I don't hold any doubt that Brouwer's best days are far behind him, but it is simply too soon to be making career pronouncements for Dougie Hamilton. Do you know who else appeared year-in-and-out as a player with "no heart; no effort," and a "me, me, me" attitude?
TAYLOR HALL. Between 2014–17 most were generally convinced that he would never manage to get out of his own way and lead a team to success. There is still time for Hamilton.
