Because he’s a nice guy, has been with the team for so long, won a Norris, does amazing in the community? I just think a lot of people like to bring up leadership issues with the team but the captain conveniently gets left out. What if it was Gio that told Tkachuk to tone it down? Never know. I think at 38 years old, it’s time to part ways with Gio and thank him for being such a great player for the organization. Also - we shouldn’t name a captain until we see where this team is headed and who steps up. Also - I think Backlund is a big problem with the country club culture too. He’s got to go. I believe he’s the second longest tenured Flames player on the roster after Gio and wears the ‘A’. I believe that’s the place to start. If these guys were such great leaders then no one would question the leadership in the room. It makes no sense. Treliving et all are blowing smoke.

What actual proof points do you have against any of this?
Including that Backlund is a "big problem with the country club culture"
Do you have any information that you can use to prove that?
