Which of the skill players fulfill those roles when Gio, Lucic and Backlund are gone?

It's a good question. I do believe the Flames have messed this up at times in the past by giving it to a hard worker, but the general feel around the league these days tends to be a skilled player who can score. I think it brings credibility too when you do that. Tkachuk took a step back this year but it should be him if he can get it together again. I know it seems like a longshot given where he stands in Sutters' eyes right now but I'd think Dube could be that guy in the future.
