It's fair to criticize the team for Sam but the player also needs to take some responsibility. He really didn't play all that well here consistently and it's not all on linemates. Tkachuk took his jerb and he pouted.

I think it is revisionist history to say Tkachuk took his job. In his second year Gulutzan wanted him to be center so he put him on a line with Brouwer which failed but that was the plan from camp. Tkachuk fit so well with Backlund and Frolik that line was not changing.
Then once the center move did not work they did not know what to do with him through the 3 crappy coaches hired. Sutter gets here and it is different but still not enough time and the request was in
