Agreed. There's a place on my team for a player like Tkachuk any day of the week, but that place is not the captaincy and it is not for him to be "the guy".

He's too self-absorbed and too caught up in the extracurriculars (like the Doughty drama, constantly trying to fight Klingberg, etc.) to be the leader of a team. He's immature and while I was a huge fan of him on the ice I was always disappointed that he never seemed to grow up much.
