Let's Win It All
Doe’s Tkachuk’s on ice game need some maturing? Sure it does , same with all young players. I don’t necessarily attribute that to any kind of entitled or lack of leadership however which you pointed out.
He’s still learning and growing and trying to right the ship of a floundering franchise all that the tender age of 22.
I would just perhaps have worded what you wrote differently and not made it as blanket statement about his lack of leadership. Only players in the room know how his leadership is really like.
Tkachuk will be fine, his game is only growing and I’m excited for him to be the face and captain of the franchise for a long time.
Please don't put words in my mouth. Entitled means having special treatment or privilege. At times, Tkachuk's play demonstrates that, in no way did I say he lacks leadership. You need to reword what you thought I worded.
You are reading too negatively into my comments. My comments were about Giroux enriching and developing the very few--but sometimes notable--wrinkles in Tkachuk's on-ice play which can be reflected on his leadership or affect team performance (as some of those plays have led to direct losses). It is to elevate Tkachuk to a more humbled and mirrored performance of holistic team success.
