We've discussed this at length over the years, but I have to agree.
Overall I dont see that Tkachuk never really seemed to exhibit the leadership qualities that you need in a Captain.
My opinion on it has always been centered around the concept of does he just create a disturbance? Or does he elevate his team?
The point of some of this is to elevate his teammates and drag them into the fight, to get things going and I dont feel that he really did that. He's ancillary, he's the side-show, a wing-man. Not the Leader.
Now...you know who does do all of those things? Nazem Kadri.
