Tkachuk’s so called “edge” wasn’t accomplishing squat. All he did was let other players, including Kassian, get in his head.

So if this stuff is true, the kid who showed leadership and stuck up for his teammates getting heat (Johnny & Monahan) in the media after the playoff series against the Stars -- then gets thrown under the bus by his team after daring to care and play emotionally the following season. I don't blame him for being a little bit disgruntled. Yeah, he showed a little immaturity maybe...but he's pretty young. It's up to the leadership and management to have handled it the right way and make sure he didn't feel singled out.
