Being a leader without a letter doesn't fit his brand. He needs the C for the Matthew Tkachuk brand.
HIs swipes at Sutter also show how he isn't a leader, and I think he has hurt feelings because Johnny got a lot of attention, Lindholm was runner up to the Selke, Sutter won the Jack Adams, but nothing for the Tkachuk brand.
You probably won't win any championships with a guy is in it for himself and his image.
A lot of players have had success with lower point totals with Sutter and you didn't hear them cry to the media. Even when Iggy was wearing the C a lot of people credited Sutter as being the real leader in the room, and Jarome set the example on the ice.
I love how he says Maurice gets the most out of his players, you just had a 106-point season 30 better than previous career best and got a big fat contract but its Maurice who is the best coach ever.
