Gio, Tkachuk and Lindholm aside
And Andersson

Tkachuk played with an edge when he first got here. Instead of harnessing that edge and fine tuning it, they just dulled it. He should be a smash mouth player, he has all the tools. We just have too many calm, whistle to whistle without emotion players. Gaudreau, Monahan, Backlund, Brodie, Hamonic, Hanifin.
I’d put Andersson, Lindholm and Bennett as the only ones who can properly “play with emotion”.
Others may show some, but it’s only ever when the game is already out of reach and they act upset and can’t bring it into their on-ice games.
