I think he's been built up as a guy that wants to win bad but doesn't have the tools to complete that. His skating is so bad you just can't mask that even with intelligence. He would be an elite player 25 years ago but today he's just too slow.

I just think you are more likely to win with players like Tkachuk than players like Johnny and Monahan. And it doesn't make sense to single out Tkachuk and his struggles this season, the whole team is garbage.
I could paste Johnny's name in your argument and it still holds, he hasn't done much of anything either especially in the playoffs.
Tkachuk is pissed off at how the team is rolling, I like that, and why the hell does he have to drag the team into games emotionally?? We need more players like Tkachuk, not less.
I'm done with Johnny and Monahan its been long enough, ship them both out.
