This tactic whereby "best player = captain material" is dumb. The captain of the team needs to do a hell of a lot more than just score points. It was idiotic for the Oilers to inaugurate McDavid their captain at
18(?!) years old regardless of the fact that he has been their best player by a country mile from the day he was drafted. Not that I don't think Tkachuk is an excellent leader, my worry—as stated above—stems from how much wearing the "C" might affect some of the key components of his game; it could potentially actually reduce his effectiveness.
