Johnny has never worn a letter so that means either he doesn't want it or he doesn't have leadership qualities and that's OK.

Backs will raise the Cup as the longest tenured Flame, and who has worn an A for a long time. Anyone's guess who he'll pass it to - could be Monahan as the 2nd longest tenured, or it could be a long line of Swedes just passing it to each other.
I think it's just cause Johnny is traditionally a quiet guy in the room. He's not one to be leading ceremonies, giving pep talks to a room full of guys and being in front of the camera more than he needs to.

And like you said, that's okay. If he wants to lead on the ice, all the more power to him. I'd be happy to give him an A after his extension.
