Oh I knew what you were saying, I just thought that I would reinforce how good of a player that I think Tkachuk is and how good I think he will be. I think that a captain doesn't necessarily have to be the best leader in the dressing room, but he does have to be the most diplomatic player on the ice. If there is a team that has Tkachuk as a captain, that team isn't going to win too many discussions with the referee or get the benefit of the doubt too often. He just has too much of a history based on how he plays the game and that is what makes him a great player. A letter on a jersey doesn't matter as much in the dressing room.
