Even ignoring the debate as to whether they belong on this list, we are at 7 of 50.
I'll take the highly skilled, hard working, best player on the team leadership style for the better model.
exactly .. We are talking about Matthew Tkachuk not other players surnamed Matthews.What’s Matthew’s path? He re-signed for 3 years after his rookie contract.
Marner signed a 6 year deal , Nylander as well.Matthews signed a 5 year deal

Just wait until this team makes the playoffs and then everyone will see what kind of leader and captain Brady Tkachuk is capable of becoming.
I’ll take the skilled, hard working, most competitive player who is already a leader. That’s a vote for Brady.So Hatcher 1

The last thing i want to do to a guy that fought demons and struggled living up to a contract he never was going to live up to is add the pressure of being a captain that underperforms his contract...
I'll take the far more skilled, hard working, most competitive player who is already a leader. That's a vote for Chabot.I’ll take the skilled, hard working, most competitive player who is already a leader. That’s a vote for Brady.
Brady will never deliver the kind of dominant playoff performance we got from EK in 17.
He simply doesn't have the talent to do so.
EK delivered that performance as our captain and while injured.I think we have to be careful about this.
Wearing the C isn't about being the best player on the ice.

My point was not wanting to sign a long term deal, would mean no "C" imo. I wouldn't make him "C" if he isn't going to commit to the team long term. I take it that you think 3 years is long enough
Maybe giving him the “C” can be a helping factor in having him commit long term?
EK delivered that performance as our captain and while injured.
And now Sens “fans” smear his name and legacy.
Bullshit.I don’t really think anyone is smearing his name or his legacy in here. I think everyone loved the time we had him in his prime.

Brady will make a good captain... but I can’t see it happening for at least until FYOUS and by then we may have another candidate...
Bullshit.
People on here consistently question his leadership and celebrate that our cheap prick owner refused to pay him market value.
Posters look longingly towards Brady's "leadership" and talk about what a monster he will be in the playoffs.
EK was already one of the top few players in the league and then elevated his game, threw the team on his back and gave an epic playoff performance for the ages. In true warrior fashion he did this while injured, sacrificing his health for his teammates, fans, and the city he loves.
His reward? Coming back early the next year and paired with Johnny Freaking Oduya because our POS lying scumbag owner had once again reneged on his promise to spend in spite of making money hand over fist with the playoff run and Vegas money.
When it came time for the criminally underpaid EK to get rewarded with a market value contract, he was vilified for the perfectly reasonable request to be paid what he is worth.
Brady has been overhyped to an unprecedented degree and now the Sens options are to overpay him or create another revolt in the fanbase as he leaves town.
Looks good on them...
Brady generates shot attempts, but lacks the skill to capitalize on this strength.Great opinion, but you are really need to get over the breakup and see that the fruits from the trade were worth it. It's a sport, not a high school love affair.
If anyone is twisting the plot, it is you constantly painting the next generation of Senators as over-hyped.
Brady is awesome and on a great trajectory to lead this team into the playoffs once again. This is a young team without the elite teammates that the previous generation played with. Brady is doing really well.
Have a read through this article, and try not to be so biased on the future is nigh... also, please spare me the political EM bullshit when responding. Work on talking about the player.
Early-Career Comparison: Tkachuk vs Stone
In fact, Brady Tkachuk has been among the league-leaders in xG for much of the season, at times posting higher percentages than the likes of Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechkin, and Auston Matthews.

.62 ppg — 120th in forwards who played more than 10 games.
You were able to find a Brady Hype article? Man that must have been difficult.Great stuff. Here are some quotes from my friends at the Hockeywriters
However, it isn’t Tkachuk’s scoring that makes him such a prize. He takes after his father, Keith, who was a poster child for how a power forward should be defined. And, son Brady follows in dad’s heralded footprints. The young Tkachuk has proven he’s willing to get his hands dirty and isn’t afraid to visit the penalty box if he needs to. He’s a hard-nosed young player who dishes out the hits and takes no prisoners. He plays a physical brand of hockey.
Scoring Can Be Feast or Famine as a Young Player on a Rebuilding Team: on Oct. 27, Tkachuk scored a goal and two assists (and also had six hits) as he led his team to a 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. That game showed the kind of player the young Tkachuk will likely become. He’s an offensive threat who plays with a physical edge that sets the tone for his team. The win against the Sharks was game No. 11 of the season, and his totals showed that he had almost as many hits (40 in total) as shots on goal (42 in total).
Obviously, being on a rebuilding roster limits any player’s ability to score. Currently, for example, the Senators are dead last in the NHL in power-play goals with only 16 in 45 games. In contrast, the Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks lead the NHL with 41 power-play goals. That’s a huge difference and shows how the Senators’ lack of scoring impacts its stars.
Try to be more like Pierre Dorion and see the talent that is under this veil of a rebuild.
