Guys get letters for what they do on the ice, in the room and in the community. Backs has always been a leader when it comes to that and he is now the longest standing Flame the only guy left who played with Kipper.
If we were giving an A to Johnny I would say Monahan would be the guy.

I agree besides since Monahan, Tkachuk, and Backlund play on different lines it gives the Flames someone that can talk to the refs at all times. Gaudreau almost always plays with either Monahan, or Tkachuk, and doesn’t seem to crave a leadership role.
