It really is time for Gio to pass the mantle, but there is no obvious heir right now. When Conroy gave up the captaincy to Iginla, it was clear Iggy was the emerging leader of the team. Tkachuk has been the one people have expected to be next, but how can he get the C when he's not performing and doing things like in the last Canucks game where he took a knee in the d zone and watched a goal against being scored?
The Flames don't have anyone to fill his shoes.
